LIVING ON MISSION
WHY DO WE LIVE ON MISSION DAILY?
Jesus gives us the answer in Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
As Christians we must see our as missionaries and our mission field is wherever we go. Charles Spurgeon stated, “every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor”.
WHERE DO WE LIVE ON MISSION?
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth”.
We desire to be an Acts 1:8 Focused church. This means we want to encourage and equip our member to live on mission both locally and globally.
HOW DO WE LIVE ON MISSION?
We are a church who is dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission by living on mission daily both personally and corporately. Personally, we want all of our members to be equipped and confident to live on missions where they live, work and play. Corporately, we want to equip and provide opportunities for our members to live on mission together both locally and globally.

Sending
Acts 13:1-3 “Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them’. Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off”
Valleydale Church has a desire to plant and re-plant churches by equipping and sending out men and woman to lead in future church plants/re-plants both locally and globally through our intentional sending pipeline.
