“As the Father has sent me, even so, I am sending you.”   

— John 20:21

Every Neighbor,
Every Nation

When we examine not just the life and ministry of Jesus but the whole revelation of God, we find an overriding theme of God’s desire to reach the nations for Christ. God's mission won't be complete until His name has reached “every tribe and language and people and nation.” (Revelation 7:9)

We join this mission primarily through three streams: Local Partnerships, Global Missions, and Local Outreach (Prince CARES).

During the month of October, our church will conduct our annual ministry outreach called “PRINCE Cares!” This ministry opportunity provides our church the means of displaying the supremacy of Jesus to our community in a unified way. It is our expectation that every PRINCE Partner join in this tremendous plan of local ministry.
