Research Department

The goal of the research department is to facilitate church planting, church growth and evangelism through the gathering and presentation of vital information. Realizing the potential strengths and weaknesses of today's church - the harvest force, it is possible to determine the needs of the church as it goes into the world. By examining today's world - the harvest field, it is possible to determine the nature of the task described in the great commission.

Matthew 28:20 instructs Christians to "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...."

The desire of the research department is to realize the carrying out of this charge by providing the church with vital and strategic information as it pursues souls for Christ
