We equip local churches to make disciples in Mississippi and around the world.
Unifying and multiplying local churches
We are a network of over 2,000 different churches joining together to share the Gospel with our state and the world beyond. Whether you’re a leader, a church member, or brand new, we’re excited you’re here.
Helping leaders make disciples

A Message from Dr. Shawn Parker
Executive Director-Treasurer
“Our goal is to stoke the fire of faith lit by God in the hearts of faithful leaders, so they can do the same in their respective church settings. In the end, we want every person in Mississippi to hear the best news of all time, that Christ was resurrected from the dead and we can know God by grace through faith in Christ. Our mission field starts in the communities, towns, and cities across the state, but it extends to all the world.”

Brand Guidelines
“Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.”
John 4:14 ESV
We believe that Jesus’ love is like a river, flowing and alive. Through his death on the cross, he offers nourishment and quenches the thirst of all who are looking to be full to the brim. This message is the reason we exist.
