“Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. Matthew 28:19-20.
“Missions” is not a program our church does; it is “who we are” as we “Grow & Go in Jesus, Everyday!”
“Missions” is not an alternative to “growing the church” – it is God’s plan and purpose for sharing the Good News of Jesus with every person on the planet . . . UNTIL EVERYONE KNOWS JESUS!.
If you know Jesus, it is because of God’s mission to you. You have been called to Him – you are being sent by Him. As believers, we have walked across the bridge God has built to reconcile us to Himself. Now we are called to build bridges of relationship over which the gospel can be transported to all who are separated from Him.
“Missions” is not a matter of local vs. global – it is all the work of God. The location is up to Him! Acts 1:8 forms the framework for the doing of God’s mission:
“But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Missions Giving
Designated gifts for specific mission endeavors and undesignated gifts for missions endeavors are distributed accurately and appropriately each year through the church treasurer.
We encourage regular giving for missions above and beyond the annual missions offerings collected each year for the SBC Cooperative Program and locally sponsored mission work. If you would like your missions donations to go to a specific mission endeavor, please mark the giving envelope accordingly.
