VISION
- To heighten awareness of Jesus Christ's heart for His lost world and for world-wide evangelical needs/concerns.
- To train and equip our congregation to be future missionaries and missions senders.
- To support current missionaries and missions organizations through prayer, financial giving and encouragement.
Our current missions philosophy is to raise workers for the Kingdom of God to reach the
ends of the earth (Acts 1:8) - either as missionaries or missions senders/mobilizers.
MISSIONS COMMUNITY
In response to the growing number of people in our church sensing a call to missions
both as goers and senders, our missions community was born. This group of missions-minded
folks meet every few months to foster accountability and relationships through sharing
times, interacting with missionaries on furlough, watching missions videos, and praying
for a variety of missions concerns.
MISSIONARY SUPPORT GROUPS
In order to effectively support a missionary, there needs to be a relationship. This
principle initially led us to form prayer support groups for two of our missionaries
serving overseas. Then three more support groups were formed for our new missionaries.
It is important as senders to support our missionaries not only through prayer and
finances, but also through communication, logistical, and moral support. As God is
calling more and more of our brothers and sisters to "go", we pray that He will raise
up people from our church to send them.
