Our mission is to be a Great Commission church that ministers across the spectrum of world need. Jesus told His disciples that they would be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be "witnesses" or "testimonies" to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. This was not a chronological/geographical order, first Jerusalem and then Judea, etc. Christ was telling the apostles that the Spirit would enable them to minister all across this great continuum of need at the same time, either personally or through ministry partners.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria
, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8

It is our direct responsibility and priority to reach our Jerusalem and Judea (those who are near and dear to us) in the Hockessin/Pike Creek area. Through participation in the JESUS Film project, we were able to put a JESUS Film DVD in every home in Hockessin. Art Camp, VBS and other outreach ministries are initiatives we have taken to reach those nearby.

For us, Samaria might be ministry in downtown Wilmington with those who are "close by but far off" in terms of life style and experience. We minister to these through partnerships with Ty and Brandy McMillan and City Impact Ministries, Sunday Breakfast Mission and Door of Hope.

Since we are not omnipresent and unable to be everywhere, we send out workers to reach the "ends of the earth" like Larry and Karen Wolters, and our sent ones who minister in creative access countries. These are "out of sight, but NOT out of mind." Through regular prayer, support and visits, we hold them up as our proxy partners in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
