Missions Resources
Where is the Missions Ministry? On the second floor of the Lighthouse.

What does your ministry do? The Missions Ministry is committed to evangelizing God's world through local and international ministries, and equipping God's people to reach the lost. We take several mission trips throughout the year, support local mission churches, and sponsor local missions ministries. We have local ministries in prisons and apartment complexes, where we share the Gospel each week.

How do I get involved in missions? Review the 4S Strategy and our upcoming mission trips. Be on the lookout for the next Missional Lifestyle Course. When you feel led to be a part of an upcoming trip, complete the online application and the team leader will contact you. Of course, we also offer a variety of local opportunities for service as well.
