What is Missions?
Part of our mission as a church is to make a difference, and the biggest way we do this is through missions. So, what is missions? It’s the process of partnering with people and ministries to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to all people of the earth!
For us, missions means supporting four categories:
- Global Missions
- Education Initiatives
- Local Ministries
- Compassion Programs
Beyond our local community, we partner with ministries and missionaries around the world. Each month, we support almost missionaries and ministries who depend on our giving to continue impacting their area of the world.
