Groups are comprised of people walking through the good, bad, and ugly of life while reminding one another of the hope of Jesus. This is what it looks like to experience family as we pursue a Jesus centered life together. Learn more and check out group offerings below!
Mission Trips
2025
We are sent to those who are far from God with the hope of the Gospel. We go bravely toward our neighbors, our co-workers, those like us, and those who aren’t. Beyond that, we are committed to the unprecedented opportunity we have to advance the name and fame of Jesus around our nation and the globe. We Live Sent so others will Know Jesus.
One way you can Live Sent is by giving or going on a mission trip!
