Mission & Values

We exist to help followers of Christ develop and fulfill their calling. We do this through disciple-making and creating sustainable, thriving churches in their communities. Our mission is to plant churches and equip church leaders to lead embodied communities of believers, who are empowered by the Holy Spirit and living out the mission of Christ. We believe that every person has a unique calling and purpose in life for God’s kingdom, and we want to help every follower of Christ discover, live out, and be mobilized in that calling through disciple-making in the context of their local church or in new expressions of church.

Herewithin mobilizes through three branches:

  • Equipping church planters

  • Training worship leaders

  • Providing retreats for ministry leaders

We are just getting started, and our vision is to send our first church planter by 2026 and launch our worship leader training in 2024.

Whether you're a pastor, a lay leader, or just someone who wants to make a difference in your community, we're here to help you every step of the way.

Why we do it:

We believe that the Church is more than just a collection of individuals, but rather an embodied community of believers who are called to love and serve one another in the name of Jesus Christ. We believe that the presence of God is manifest in the community of believers and that the Holy Spirit is actively at work within us (1 John 4:13).

We also believe that as members of the Church, we are called to live holy and righteous lives, embodying the love of Christ in all that we do. As it says in 1 John 4:17, "By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world."

We believe that the Church is not just a building, but a living, breathing body of believers, and that as we come together in community, we can experience the fullness of God's presence and power.

Ultimately, our goal is to see the Church fulfill its ultimate destiny, as described in Revelation 21:3: "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God." We believe that as we live out our calling to plant churches and equip leaders, we are participating in God's plan to build his Kingdom on earth and to bring his presence and love to all people here-within.
