Our Mission
Changing our lives. Changing our world. All through Christ.
We will passionately pursue changing our world by initiating, supporting,
and praying for mission efforts that glorify God by fulfilling the Great
Commandment (Matthew 22:37) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18).
The Great Command: Matthew
22:37
37Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And
the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
The Great Commission: Matthew
28:18
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am
with you always, to the very end of the age."
Our Priorities
1. Valley Church attendees who are following God’s call into the mission
field
2. Our four key partnerships:
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Europe (Brussels, Belgium & Rome, Italy);
Tegucigalpa, Honduras; India
3. Evangelical Free Church
missionaries as led by the Holy Spirit
Our Strategy
Following the Acts 1:8 model we will seek to impact our local community
(the greater Des Moines Metropolitan area); our region (Iowa and all
bordering states); our nation and the world.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8
