Our God is a sending God! He is sending us, His Church to share with others the wonderful news of the love of God through Jesus Christ. This coming year we have the opportunity to work locally with our Association and in the neighborhoods around our church, as well as to look at trips stateside and overseas. We will continue to update you as new opportunities become available. But please be in prayer about the part God would have you play in sending the Gospel to those who need it most!

Mexico Mission Trip: We will be going to the Baja region of Mexico, where we will be serving along side FFHM (Foundation For His Ministry): We will be involved in sports ministry, working with a local church to do door to door visitation, VBS, and some small construction projects. The approximate cost for this trip is $800.00. If you are interested in more details, please see Mike Slaton.

New Mexico Mission Trip: We also plan to partner with another church and take a team to New Mexico. Approximate cost for this trip is $650. We are finalizing the details of this trip but if you are interested please see John Prose.
