We fulfill the Great Commission through several strategies:

Education

We provide various ways to education our people on being a world Christian.  Specifically, we provide an eight week  Foundations 501 Class (Vision for the Nation) during the Spring Semester of every year.  We also provide scholarships for  members for the Perspective Class and the Urbana Conference.

Experience

We believe that every believer benefits from experiencing the work of missions first hand.  Thus, we encourage our members to see, touch, smell and feel the work in several ways.

STEP:  Every summer since the 1995, we have sent short-term (two months) teams to various parts of the world.  Our teams have gone to Indonesia (95), Thailand (96), Papua New Guinea (97), Siberia (98), Mongolia (99), Benin (2000), Tibet (2001), Russia (2002), Canada & Guatemala (2003), China & Canada (2004), Canada, China & Kyrgyzstan (2005).  We desire every college-age member to attend STEP at least once.  We also provide support for members who go on short-term trips with other approved mission organizations.

GO!:  We feel that it would benefit busy working individuals and families to also experience mission first-hand.  This will be a 10-day mission trip specifically designed and tailored to those who are unable to go on STEP.  We've gone to Honduras (2003 & 2004) and Thailand (2005).

Energize

We desire to partner with those who are doing the work of missions by providing finances, prayer and other tangible help.  We are currently partnering with 3 missionary families.  They are considered associate missionaries by our church.  They are long-term relationships that we value greatly.  We do not reveal their identity on the internet because of the sensitive nature of their work but you can always find more information at church.

Emigrate

We ultimately desire to send people from our own midst to do the work of mission.  In 2002, we commissioned our first missionary family to go to Southeast Asia.  We were grateful for that privilege.  In 2003, we will be commissioning our second family to go to Central Asia.  May God bless their work and our partnership.  If you would like more information about the two families, their prayer cards are available in the welcome wagon in the church foyer.
