Welcome to Our Missions Portal
At our core, we believe that the love of Christ is designed to be shared beyond our walls, crossing the street and crossing the oceans. Our church has a rich, enduring history of raising up, sending out, and faithfully supporting missionaries from within our own church family. We have witnessed firsthand how God works through ordinary people who are willing to say "yes" to His call.
This website serves as your central hub to connect with that ongoing mission. Whether you are looking to learn more about the faithful servants we support around the globe, or seeking ways to engage with vital local ministries right here in our community, you will find it all right here.
Explore our directory to read about our supported missionaries, discover the unique focuses of their ministries, and find specific ways you can hold them up in prayer.
Ready to take the next step? For those feeling a deeper call to action, this site also provides direct access to application forms for both short-term service trips and long-term missionary commissioning.
Thank you for visiting, and thank you for partnering with us as we seek to bring hope, healing, and the Good News to a world in need.
