The Missions ministry exists to glorify God by making more and better disciples of Jesus Christ through intentional relationships extended beyond the normal walls of our church to others living 1) in our local area, 2) nationally, and 3) internationally. It is a vital and functioning dimension of the church that specifically fulfills the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). Through the support of our selected missionaries, mission organizations, and short-term mission trips, our targeted population is the non-believing peoples and nations of the world, including those in our own immediate community and region. Each element of our Christ’s Church mission statement is vital in the consideration of those we support.
