Missions exists because worship doesn't.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."

Matthew 28:19

It is the great privilege of the Church to testify to the grace of God in Jesus Christ as we seek to promote the Gospel to all nations in word and deed.

The spread of the Gospel is the unique and central calling of the Church, therefore Christ Community seeks to preach, teach and allocate resources to this end.  

The Missions Team oversees our partnerships with missionaries around the globe as well as seeks to offer intentional ways for the congregation to be informed of missions efforts around the world.

Missions Initiatives at Christ Community

Scholarships

Scholarships for individuals who wish to take the Perspectives in World Missions course.

Missions Budget

A commitment to allocate a minimum of 12% of the total operating budget to the Missions Team to use to support missionaries.

Surplus Giving

A commitment to give money that is received in surplus of the annual budget to ministries both local and global. Past recipients of surplus giving include: Lifesong for Orphans, Churches Helping Churches, Heart to Heart Counseling, and Midwest Food Bank.

Missions Trips

Short-term mission trips which help foster a culture of missions and promote our core value of Beautiful Feet. A major purpose to providing short-term trips is to educate our congregation and mobilize it to accomplish the mission of carrying the gospel to all nations. It is our prayer that these mission trips will be used by God to raise up believers from Christ Community to become missionary workers.

Equipping the Church

Intentional education of our children about global missions through V.B.S., Sunday School, Jr. & Sr. High Youth Groups, Children’s Church, and Little Lambs Preschool.

Missions Policy

Romans 10:14-15 states, “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed?  And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?  And how are they to hear without someone preaching?  And how are they to preach unless they are sent?  As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

We aim to be a church who deliberately seeks to spread the Good News among all peoples of the earth and consequently, “Beautiful Feet” is one of the five Core Values at Christ Community.  It is our continual prayer that the Lord will raise up missionaries from Christ Community to participate in the global enterprise of the making disciples of all nations
