Missions

we are committed to service through missions.


We understand missions as communicating God's love by acts of service to nonbelievers and by boldly speaking God's Word through evangelism. We honor God's command that we be His "witnesses in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Our prayer is that we develop a culture that transforms our members to become missionaries in their everyday world.

Our current missions efforts include:

  • Financial assistance initiatives
  • Dedicated prayer support
  • Engaging in community activities
