Missions
Advent Conspiracy
Advent Conspiracy is our way of telling the real story of Christmas – the story of Jesus. Join us in 2024 to help with Operation Christmas Child in November and our giving project in December.
We partner with local ministries and global missionaries, send short term mission trips, and participate in additional projects throughout the year. All of these engage God’s mission for His glory, and we hope everyone will join us to pray, give and go for the sake of the gospel.
We currently have volunteer teams that help lead our church in this area. These teams oversee our participation in projects, mission trips, and support our current partners, and identify qualified missionaries and ministries for future partnerships.
