Missions

We as a church want to share with people the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ. Whether those people are in our own neighborhood or across the globe, we passionately want to advance the kingdom of God and bring His hope and joy with us wherever we go. 

+ + +

Locally, our approach is to form long-term relationships where we can invest financial resources and create opportunities for our church body to serve. Globally, we partner with ministries in other parts of the world by providing short-term mission teams, financial support, and other resources.

Join us as we look beyond our walls and share the love of Jesus in our local and global community.
