Purpose

Central States Church Extension exists for the purpose of propagating the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the establishment of new churches and by assistance to existing churches with a view to their becoming and remaining independent fundamental churches; and to place pastors and Christian workers in fields of service.  We serve the Great Plains states, especially Kansas and Oklahoma, as well as neighboring states which have no church extension agencies.  We are a part of the ministry of IFCA International.  Our history began in Kansas, January 10, 1984 and was originally named the Kansas Church Extension.  In 1997, our name was changed to Central States Church Extension to reflect the growing ministry to Oklahoma, Nebraska, and bordering states, as well as Kansas.
