Missions Trips

World Missions trips are designed with the goal of inspiring a global vision within our congregation. A crucial part of acquiring a vision is not only to build relationships with our mission partners and learn about their ministries but to receive training on how we can better serve God’s kingdom corporately and individually within the context of our own culture.

As you pray about serving, ponder the following guidelines:

  • For the purpose of discerning whether I am called to career missions.

  • Because my particular expertise or skills will advance the work of the ministry.

  • Because I genuinely want to gain knowledge of the ministry and develop relationships with field partners in order to provide intentional support through prayer, finances, and practical helps.

 World Missions provides pre-field training, post-field debriefings, and logistical support for our teams.  

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”—John 20:21

Applications

Trips are a vital part of the ministry of World Missions.  Besides catching a vision for the ministries of our international partners, these trips serve as a means of bi-directional discipleship and service.  Experience the goodness of our sovereign God who is building his global kingdom for his glory and the good of mankind.
