Outreach

MISSIONARY SUPPORT
The church supports foreign and local missionaries through prayer and financial contributions. Our missionaries currently serve in the Middle East, Cambodia, Mexico, and the Philippines. We also encourage and train our own members to proclaim the good news locally and throughout the world. Many of our teens have been on short term missions trips, and went to Mexico, Haiti and separate locations in South America within the last few years. We held a weekend Missions Conference a year ago, with all our missionaries home and presenting. For the past four years, 17-24 member-teams took part in a short-term missions trip to Juarez, Mexico to build a home for needy, church-sponsored families through Casas por Cristo, (just returned February 2008).  You can read about each of our missionaries and their prayer needs at our Prayer Concerns Page (and by entering the protected password).

LOCAL OUTREACH
The church strives to show the love of Christ to the surrounding community through evangelism, neighborly compassion, and charity. We have participated in open air outreach events to reach the city of Lynn, provide ESL (English language) training, and Vacation Bible School is held each summer as way to reach new children and their families. Periodically, we visit our neighbors, to distribute batteries for their smoke alarms and to invite them to worship. We also seek to reach certain refugee communities within our city, particularly among West Africans, and as partners with the Austin Square Cambodian Fellowship and the new Spanish-speaking Mies Ministries church plant that meets in our church building for worship.
