One of the greatest life changing experiences for a believer is to go on a missions journey. Whether it’s helping a new church in another state or visiting a missionary working in another country…you’ll never fully understand the importance of missions until you go. Every person needs to see it, feel it and experience it first hand.
Throughout the year there are a number of journeys to choose from. Each one provides a unique experience and the opportunity see what the Lord is doing in other parts of the world. You’ll see first hand the challenges every missionary faces, as well as the joy of others coming to know Christ as their Savior.
If you’ve never taken the opportunity to go on a missions journey, we encourage you to look through the following opportunities and pray about going. We promise…you will be glad you did!

Other Missions Opportunities:
There are other missions opportunities that are local and many times church-wide, where we can take the love of Jesus into our community in a variety of ways. By volunteering and getting involved with these community events we’re able to show others the love of Jesus in a very meaningful and powerful way.
There are a number of projects, community sponsored events and church planned activities to choose from throughout the year. It’s our desire see every member involved in some way, helping us reach our community with the good news of Jesus.
Missions begins right here in our own city and community. A local missions opportunity is a great place to begin being on mission for the Lord. Please consider getting involved in one of the following upcoming missions opportunities.
