We believe that greater engagement with our local and global mission partners is an essential part of our mission to glorify and enjoy God by making disciples who make a difference through grace-filled worship, community, and missions. Last year, we focused on the importance of sharing the gospel with our words (evangelism); this year, we’re focusing on another facet: sharing the gospel through the work of our hands and feet (mercy). Because God has first shown us mercy through Christ, we therefore are inspired and empowered to live out God’s mercy in our own lives.
During our 2025 Missions Conference, visiting mission partners will share how God is moving and making mercy happen in their ministries. Be a part of this year’s conference: you’ll be equipped and inspired to live out and practice mercy ministry to those that God has placed in your life!

Missions Mingle | time | Fellowship Hall
Meet, greet, and hear from our visiting mission partners — they’ll be set up around the room and you’ll get the opportunity to rotate throughout! You’ll hear from multiple mission partners’ stories about their mission field. Designed for all ages, this event will help us mix and mingle with one another as one body of Christ — illuminating the ways that God working through each mission partner’s story is a part of God working in your story.
