Missions
Living The Great Commission
The last thing Jesus said to his disciples was, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
We take these words seriously as we seek to love God through a life of worship, grow together as disciples of Christ, and inspire others to follow Jesus. We invite you to learn about the missionaries we support, explore mission trip opportunities, and consider how God may be leading you to partner with us in this mission. For more info, contact our Outreach Minister, John Veech.
