Global Impact & Missions
From the very beginning, His heart has always been for the entire world. In Genesis 12:3, God told Abraham that “all the families on earth will be blessed through you.” And in John 3:16, we are reminded that “God so loved the world…”
We believe that our God is a global God.
Before He ascended to heaven, Jesus gave His followers what we now call the Great Commission. In Matthew 28:19–20, Jesus said, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations…” This calling continues today as the Church shares the good news of Jesus and serves people in His name around the world.
But where and how does God want us to partner with Him to help change the world? There is no “one-size-fits-all” recipe for how each Christian and church should respond to this biblical mandate. Given the size and scope of the world’s needs and our limited resources, we have established global ministry partners and focus areas so that we can have a holistic and long-term global impact.
God’s mission has always been global—and as followers of Jesus, we are invited to participate in His work.
Serving the World with Compassion
Global missions is not only about sharing the message of Jesus—it is also about demonstrating His love through compassion and justice. The Bible reminds us in James 1:27 that true religion includes caring for those in need, and in Proverbs 19:17 we are told that “whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord.”
As a church, we desire to reflect the heart of Christ by supporting ministries that meet both spiritual and practical needs around the world.
Joining God’s Global Mission
We believe that every follower of Jesus has a role to play in God’s global mission—whether by praying, giving, going, or encouraging those who serve. Together, we can partner with what God is already doing around the world and see lives transformed through the love and truth of Jesus.
Supporting Missionaries Around the World
We are grateful to partner with missionaries who are faithfully serving around the world and sharing the love of Jesus in practical and life-changing ways. These individuals and families are an important part of our church family, and we are committed to supporting them through prayer, encouragement, and financial partnership.

Join THE Mission
God invites each of us to be part of His work around the world. As a church family, we participate in global missions in several meaningful ways.
PRAY
Prayer is one of the most powerful ways we can support our missionaries and the work God is doing around the world. We regularly pray for our partners, the communities they serve, and for more people to come to know Jesus.
GIVE
Through faithful and generous giving, we are able to support missionaries, provide resources for ministry, and help meet real needs in communities around the globe.
ENCOURAGE
Our missionaries deeply value the encouragement and connection they receive from their church family. Notes, messages, and words of support remind them that they are not serving alone.
GO
God may also call some to step out and serve directly through missions or ministry opportunities. Whether locally or globally, every act of obedience plays a part in God’s mission.
