Serving Our World

Each year we provide various opportunities to serve on impact trips, as well as all-church global outreach initiatives to make a difference around the world for Christ.

2025/2026 Impact Trips

We send teams on short-term trips to impact both the participants and the host communities in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Prayerfully consider where you’ll go and how you’d like participate! New trips will be added year-round, so please check back frequently. Details will be updated as they become available.

Global Initiatives

Check out these annual opportunities that are open to the whole church to make a difference around the world for Christ.

CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER

Each year we try to make the holidays special for our Global Staff and Partners serving all around the world by donating toward this annual collection.  A table will be set up in our lobby in September, where you can pick out a card for a global worker that shares where they are serving and their gift request. Drop off gifts by due date. This is a great opportunity to participate as a family, with your small group, or individually.  

You can also donate online by selecting the “Christmas in September” fund from the drop-down choices during the month of September.
