Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
Every Christian is a missionary to someone – somewhere. Whether it is in our home, community, or beyond, there are those that God wants to touch – through us! Throughout the year we will provide opportunities to help you serve.
Missions Month 2024
Each year, Family Church sets aside a month to emphasize the importance of missions in the life of the church as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission. We will emphasize a different aspect of our participation over the month of February. You will have the opportunity to learn more about what God is doing locally and around the world to bring people to himself through Jesus Christ.
Every Christian is a missionary to someone – somewhere. Whether it is in our home, community, or beyond, there are those that God wants to touch – through us! Let all commit to be ‘on mission’ every day, taking the Gospel to those who need to hear ‘Good News.’
