Welcome to the Church Extension Department of The Churches of Christ in Christian Union!
The Great Commission is a call to church planting all over the world.
If you want to plant something for a season. . . plant flowers
If you want to plant something for a lifetime . . . plant trees
If you want to plant something for eternity. . . plant a church

- Continue to pray for Pastor John King that God will direct him to the right place and right time to plant a new 3CU Church in southeast Florida.
