theme verse:
“and how shall they preach, unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15

objectives: to focus geographically on Baja California by assisting Calvary Chapel Ensenada and Calvary Chapel Rosarito in raising up pastors (through their Bible Colleges) and planting Bible teaching churches throughout the Baja peninsula. However, our missions involvement will not be limited to Mexico, and we will share God's love by serving and supporting missionaries in Camarillo, in California, in the United States and "to the end of the earth." We will work to raise-up, train and send out missionaries from our local church body for short and long term mission trips. We will also develop a compassionate and supportive sender’s heart within our church body.
