We will mobilize the next generation to discover and participate in the mission of God every day, instilling in them a sense of passion and purpose as witnesses to the world who pray, give and go.
What is mission?
Living on mission is the way we bring the Kingdom of God into reality. Loving others is our primary, consistent, tangible expression of the inward change that has occurred when surrendering to the Kingdom’s agenda. This is daily.
How do I live
on mission?
Being on mission is less about doing acts of service, and more about being the hands and feet of Jesus. It is not about doing things for God, it is about being with God in his work. God is inviting all of us to bring our unique gifts and talents to the table and join him in ministering to others. At every age, whether you’re a child, student, young adult, parent, empty-nester, God is inviting you to help him build his kingdom with your talents.
Kids on Mission
Some people think that the only way to do missions as a family is to go somewhere, but that isn’t the case. Living your life on mission means turning every day and every place you go into a mission field.
Draw a picture of somewhere you go that you could turn into a mission field. (home, school, park, a walk through the neighborhood, etc.)
Prayer Prompt:
Pray for God to show you where you could start living on mission.

- Make and deliver cards for nursing home residents, kids in hospitals, or missionaries.

- Write a note or draw a picture of encouragement for your teacher or a classmate.
- Offer to help a neighbor that’s doing yard work.
- Go on a prayer walk for your school or neighborhood.
- Find someone new to play with at recess or the park.

Students on Mission
Student Ministry
There are even opportunities for students to serve their peers on Wednesday nights.
Get Involved in the Community
Short Term Missions
Each campus plans an opportunity to be on mission together in the summer. These take place in our own community, other cities around the country, and even to international locations where we can partner to serve others. We love having families on mission together and want to partner with as many parents as we can.
From running slides, cameras, or playing in the band, our worship and production teams are a critical part of Sunday morning and Wednesday night.
