Global Missions
The Global Missions Department exists to advance the gospel of Christ among the nations. We are a Christ-centered community, rooted in prayer, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and passionate about seeing God glorified as lives are transformed through short-term missions.
Our Winter Break trips (7–10 days) typically go to Central America, where we return year after year to deepen relationships and strengthen ongoing partnerships. Our Summer Break trips (2–8 weeks) extend to regions further around the world, with the same goal: sustainable partnership and long-term continuity with our ministry hosts.
Since 1922, we’ve sent teams to more than 50 countries during winter, spring, and summer breaks—joining in the work God is already doing and seeking to serve communities with humility and love.
