bringing the gospel where it’s needed most.

how we focus our mission

Our mission efforts focus on three priorities:

  • compassion – Meeting practical needs in Jesus’ name.
  • evangelism & church planting – Proclaiming the Gospel where it hasn’t gone.
  • education & leadership development – Equipping leaders to multiply the mission.

We take our lead from Acts 1:8, where Jesus told His followers to be His witnesses “in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This was not simply a geographic call – it was a call to engage every spiritual landscape:

We use this framework to guide our strategy, our giving and our prayers about missions – always asking, Where is the Gospel most needed next?

our mission values

Every mission decision we make is filtered through these values:

  • long-term sustainability – Will this ministry multiply and last?
  • discernment & wisdom – Is this the best use of the resources God has entrusted to us?
  • local partnership – Are we empowering and equipping local leaders?
  • humility – Are we serving others, not building our own platform?
  • focus on the overlooked – Are we reaching people and places others are not?

our church planting partners

At Quay Church, we believe in multiplying the reach of the gospel by planting and strengthening life-giving churches. We’re honored to partner with two leading networks that share this vision—each with a unique focus.

Together, SLN and ARC give church planters both the strategic foundation to launch well and the ongoing relationships to thrive for the long haul.
