Our Mission


“Making and releasing disciples, planting churches,
and sending missionaries.”

Make and Release Disciples
Great Commission Great Commission
Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

Paul & Leslie Leavenworth Leadership Development
We bear fruit in life and ministry because we “abide” in the vine (John 15:1-8).
In order to assist our current and emerging leaders in this development, Leadership Development Ministries provides seminars, workshops, and modular courses and mentoring and consulting resources for national, regional, and local church groups.
Plant Churches
A Word from Randy LoescherChurch Planting Director for Central Region
Why plant churches? Despite our strong Christian heritage, the church in America is declining. Many older churches show signs of aging and decline, struggling to make the gospel relevant to a new generation and often failing to bridge that cultural gap. According to Leith Anderson in A Church for the 21st Century, “new churches are the most effective means of evangelism.”
Chuck & Kelly Loftis

Chuck and Kelly Loftis
Why would a couple, on multiple occasions, uproot their family in the midst of effective, enjoyable ministry? Chuck Loftis stated, “It is my aim to plant simple churches focused on sound biblical teaching that will help believers mature in the faith and find ways to serve their respective communities.”
