Go and make disciples of all nations
Being the church on mission, here and around the world. (Matthew 28:19)
Jesus told His followers to go and make disciples of all nations. We take that seriously. 10% of every weekly offering goes straight to outreach and global ministry, and the support we send goes directly to the people doing the work.
We partner with ministries here in Jacksonville, across Illinois and around the world. We also serve together through local mission days and trips throughout the year. Watch the Events page for the next one.
