Messiah’s Mission: To Know + Grow + Share Christ
… you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
… go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
The mission given by Jesus to His disciples involves sharing the good news of salvation locally, nationally, and internationally. International missions mean crossing cultural barriers to make disciples in Jesus’ Name. It requires building relationships, learning another’s language, culture, and context, and serving with a heart committed to sharing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. Local and national missions require the same commitment to building relationships and serving with an obedient heart to Jesus’ command but may not involve a cultural or language barrier.
Our goal at Messiah is to partner with and support local, national, and international mission organizations to make disciples in Jesus’ Name. As much as possible, we desire to offer financial support and when possible participate directly with the mission. The following organizations have been chosen for our contributions for 2022.

Missions Vision & Education
The goal of Mission and Outreach is to encourage Messiah to fulfill the promise Jesus made in Acts 1:3. It Is a personal call, active and future, calling us to join Christians everywhere in proclaiming the message of salvation. But it is also a community activity.
Together we can do bigger and greater things for our community.
Together we can encourage one another to take a step of faith, maybe even outside of our comfort zone.
Together we can celebrate and praise God when one of his lost sheep takes a step closer to our Faithful and Loving Savior.
