Missions & Outreach
Our Church's mission ministry is deeply connected to our belief to “make disciples of Jesus Christ” and to “go into our world”. We are strategically working to help individuals, families, and small groups make a difference in the lives of others because God cares and so do we. In this section you will find opportunities to receive care, to give care, to our local community as an individual or a group, to reach the world and to hear from the church around the world. You can learn about the mission of our denomination, our sister agencies, and the prayer letters of our missionaries and seminarians. Lastly you can find your spiritual gifts and get personal feedback on how to use your gifts locally and around the world.
