Short-Term Missions
(STM)
Seeking to expand God’s kingdom
By forming and sending mission teams that serve from one day up to weeks at a time, we aim to provide short-term opportunities that allow individuals and families to see and participate in what God is doing around the world. Some are recurring trips to familiar countries that strengthen established relationships with local churches while others are more pioneering in nature.
We welcome all those interested in joining a team, regardless of age or experience. For each mission trip, please expect a sufficient amount of time dedicated to training and preparation. Contact team leaders for more information.
