Outreach

MISSIONARY SUPPORT
The church supports foreign and local missionaries through prayer and financial contributions. Our missionaries currently serve in Senegal and the Philippines (previously Egypt and Mexico), as well as locally. 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 Africa and South America within the last few years. For the past six years, 17-24 member-teams have taken part in a short-term missions trip to Juarez, Mexico to build a home for needy, church-sponsored families through Casas por Cristo, (latest February  2010).  

We recently met with new missionary candidates Matt and Leanne Wilkinson and their four children who are preparing to go to Papua New Guinea with To Every Tribe missions. They are completing training down in Texas. 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. 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. North Shore Christian School has also planted a Pre-K program that makes use of our building during the week,  and Pastor Steve leads a Chapel program with the little ones.
