International Missions
The National and Global Missions Ministry exists to commit ourselves and our
resources in partnership with key missionary personel and missionary organizations
in order to help spread the Gospel nationally and globally to the farthest ends of
the earth. We do this so that we as a church can more fully live into the parable of
the Good Samaritan, stopping and investing our lives in those lost along the road and
in need of the love, forgiveness and healing of Jesus Christ.
