The Biblical mandate in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:20 calls us to go into the world and make disciples. Whatever we do for the least of Jesus’ brothers and sisters, we do for him and we seek to accomplish going to the “least” and the “lost” through yearly mission initiatives.

This summer, we're headed to Alaska and Ecuador and invite you to an Interest Meeting to learn more!
Alaska
July 23-29, 2023
Alaska is the least church-attending state in the US. It is far less "churched" than places like Haiti, Guatemala, Belize and other central America/Caribbean countries. People think of Alaska as a tourist destination, but it is a serious mission field. Each year, a mission team of ~25 congregants head to Anchorage during the summer to lead a Vacation Bible School.
Partner Organization
Graceworks Alaska
GraceWorks partners with local churches facilitating mission volunteers and church teams to work directly with non-churched children, youth and adults in local parks – feeding meals to the hungry, leading a backyard Bible school, playing sports, games and making crafts. They partner with local churches and church planters to ensure quality follow-up.
Applications Open Spring 2023
Ecuador
July 7-14, 2023
Through our partnership with Kids Around the World, we are headed to Aguas Verdes, a community about an hour outside of Guayaquil. Each summer, a mission team of ~15 congregants head to this neighborhood to build a playground, distribute Days for Girls Menstruation Kits, and bring joy to the families there.
Partner Organization
Kids Around the World
Kids Around the World trip participants are the “hands and feet” that get to go and see what God has purposed to do through KATW come to fruition — whether it is by giving kids the gift of play with a beautiful playground, providing nutritious meals, or sharing God’s story of His love for them. The work their teams do often serves as a springboard to impact the lives of children long-term.
Applications Open Spring 2023
Dominican Republic
2024 Dates To Come
You can help transform lives in the Dominican Republic by joining us for our yearly medical mission trip. A mission team of 20+ congregants host mobile medical clinics in remote communities in the DR to bring exceptional care to those who do not have regular access to medical care. These clinics are organized and operated through local churches in communities where we have cultivated meaningful relationships. The investment you make in these people’s health will continue to have an impact long after you return home.
