God's primary missionary strategy for the world is to form churches:

Mission isn’t an optional extra to the Christian life. We follow in the footsteps of our missionary God – as the Father sent the Son to rescue the world, so now the Son sends us to bear witness to his grace. Motivated by this grace, we will together take part in the privileged responsibility that Jesus has kindly given to every believer: His mission to save a people for Himself.  We will understand the hopes, fears and questions of our town and speak the gospel into the lives of those around us. We will live with purpose, creating opportunities to instigate and deepen relationships with unbelievers. As we share lives together, we will proactively welcome unbelievers into our gospel communities. By God’s grace we will strive to see the gospel reach the rest of the Northeast, Europe, and world through partnering with those who are already there, and going ourselves.

God is a Triune, communal God and thus as those made in his image we are made for community.
