God’s instrument to reach every tribe, tongue, people, and nation is the church. The great commission is a call to make much of the name of Jesus both near and far. Therefore, it is our prayer and desire to take him to “our neighbors and to the nations.”

Our missions offering goes to support the various ministries God has called us to locally as well as internationally.

Rylee Slye, a young lady in our church, has started a project to sell baked goods to support the IMB Deaf Outreach. You can find out more here. Mission efforts also include the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) whose unwavering focus on making disciples of Jesus who live on mission happens through missions discipleship, leadership development and compassion ministries, with Kingdom impact in every state and 39 countries.

We believe living a life of generosity is the key to seeing the Good News of Christ reach the ends of the earth. Jesus generously gave His life for us which motivates us to give sacrificially so others can know the same grace we have experienced!
Our prayer is that through your sacrificial giving, we would see people both here and around the world come to know the salvation of Jesus and bring glory to Him through their lives.

Besides praying and giving, another way to support missions is to go. Our church has a number of short term mission trips each year. We send teams four times a year to West Africa where we partner with local believers to spread the gospel and disciple new believers. We have worked with church plants and ministries in North America, including Gladstone, Missouri; Canada, Mexico, Wyoming, St. Louis, Boston and Illinois. If you are interested in going on a trip, please fill out this application.
