Missions is an important part of church life. Missionaries are endorsed, commissioned, sent out from a local church and supported for their work in the Lord in answer to His Great Commisson in Matthew 28:19-20 where Jesus said, "Go ye 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 alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen".
Some of our Missionaries are supported because of their specific work; others were trained up, called, and sent out from our church. All are our family and we hold them close to us in prayer and financial support. Below is some short bios of our extended family.
