TheLaunchingPad

The Bible have a constant theme running through the front to back and that theme is His mission, which is to take the message of Jesus Christ to the whole world...to every nation, every tribe and every tongue.
 
Also, the Bible makes clear that the way He is going to continue to bring His mission to completion is through the Church.  Not buildings, but people.  The Church, followers of Jesus, who are ordinary people, radically transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit to go to every person on the planet.

So Scripture makes clear the Church is not about just gathering together all the time, but the Church is to be about sending!  We like to think of it this way...the Church is to be a "LAUNCHING PAD" into the world.  That is, the Church, is a people from which people are "launched" into our city here in Mississauga, as well as all to nations over the world!

In keeping with Scripture the best we know, God has given us a DNA of being a "launching family," that is seeing people transformed, filled with the Holy Spirit and launched into our city and our world.  Check out the stories below...
