Mission Trips
2024
We are sent to those who are far from God with the hope of the Gospel. We go bravely toward our neighbors, our co-workers, those like us, and those who aren’t. Beyond that, we are committed to the unprecedented opportunity we have to advance the name and fame of Jesus around our nation and the globe. We Live Sent so others will Know Jesus.
One way you can Live Sent is by giving or going on a mission trip!
