A healthy missions program includes not just GOERS but SENDERS as well.
Please learn about, pray for, and give to our missions teams.
Missions Week
Sean Cooper of Global Serve International is our featured speaker this year. His morning sermon is on “The Five Great Commission Statements” and his message for the Sunday evening dinner session is “Our Role in Planting Acts 1:8 Churches.” The dinner (no sign-ups necessary) is free although donations for our Costa Rica short-term trip will be welcomed (donation button below). Our missionary-in-training, Hope Barton, will be leading Thrive on Monday and Wednesday night. Pray for God to help us “start here” what he intends to go “to the ends of the earth,” as Acts 1:8 describes!

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus said to them: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Expanding
One of our core values is to be about the work of expanding.
By our missional living, evangelizing locally and globally, we are joining God as He adds to His Church.
We are involved in both long and short-term missions around the globe. Teams are sent with the purpose of evangelism and supporting local churches in countries such as Nepal, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, and Mexico. Some are also called from JCC to live their lives in full-time cross-cultural ministry. Among those sent are missionaries living in Nepal, India, China, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
We actively support individuals and families on the foreign mission field, as well as those from our congregation who participate in short-term missions opportunities. Our support includes prayer, funding, and helping with the physical needs involved in missions.
