Local Ministry Opportunities

For many years, our church has been a “sending church”—sending thousands around the world on short-term mission trips. Our vision is to expand our definition of “missions” to include ongoing, local ministry opportunities. We want to truly become the hands and feet of Jesus right here in Central Florida. We need to think of missions as a year-round part of our lives rather than one week out of the year.  We want to serve others with no other motive than to show the love of Jesus in a tangible way.

Reaching out to those who are in need will cost us: time, money, scheduling, calloused hands, sore backs and a little dignity. The love of Christ was more than merely feeling sorry for someone. He gave his life to demonstrate the extent of His love. Jesus knew that you do not affirm anyone or anything by merely giving some money. No, the higher form of love is to give people your time and care. 

Our neighborhood begins at the edge of our church campus. This year, we are praying that we will stop being so busy getting from place to place that we can see our neighborhood through the eyes of Christ. 

Many are already getting involved, either as individuals or through their Small Groups. We would love to hear about how you are serving others right here in our own personal mission field. Please take a moment and let us know about your project. Simply fill in the brief service survey. It will help us learn more about how we are serving our neighbors.
