Local & Global

Missions

Bringing hope to our neighbors here in Madera and to those who have not yet heard, around the world.

Sent to Serve

One Flock, One Shepherd

Missions theme: One Flock, One Shepherd, John 10:16, with a shepherd leading his flock at sunset

Jesus said, “I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd” (John 10:16). The Good Shepherd is still gathering His sheep from every nation, and that work belongs to every believer, not just the few who travel far away.

Locally we serve our community in Madera through partnerships, outreach, and care for families. Globally we send teams and support missionaries who are taking the gospel to places where it has not been heard, so that those still outside the fold may hear His voice and be brought home.

Mexico Trips

Each summer a short-term team travels to Baja, Mexico with Amor Ministries to build a house for a family in need. No construction experience is needed. A valid passport is required, so start that process early.

Local Outreach

We come alongside ministries in Madera that care for the hurting, the hungry, and the overlooked in our own backyard.

Supported Missionaries

We pray for and financially support missionaries serving in the United States and overseas, both in word and deed.

“Go, therefore, 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 (CSB)
