Get involved in your mission field!
Just as someone shared the gospel with us, we are blessed with the opportunity of proclaiming Jesus and his kingdom to others. Whether that takes us across the street or around the world, we pray that the Spirit will use our words and lives to bring others to trust in Jesus and enter into God’s kingdom.
Our church plans several short-term mission trips each summer that members may participate as senders or goers. Additionally, we host an annual Missions Emphasis Weekend in March and Missions Conference in October to learn more on how we can be a part of what God is doing around the world.
