Who and what is World Impact?

Our Purpose is to bring Christ’s reconciliation with God the Father to our neighbors in the greater Richmond area and to the world.

Read what Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. (2 Cor. 5:17-20)

Our vision is fourfold:
1) to invite all to share in the hope of Christ.
2) to proclaim Christ and help the weary and burdened in Richmond
3) to proclaim Christ and help the needy in Goochland Co.,
4) to proclaim Christ and advance His kingdom in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Dominican Republic.

Paul wrote to the Colossian church about his ministry:
We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. (Col. 1:28-29)
