Missions Mobilization
Our Board of Directors and Churchnet Staff are organized into a series of ministry teams. These teams allow us to better focus on our strategic initiatives and respond to requests from churches.
From their inception, Baptists have always been a mission-minded denomination, taking very seriously the Great Commission with its challenge to take the gospel to the ends of the earth and make disciples among all nations. Churchet shares that historic Baptist dedication to missions and we are committed to helping churches do their part in faithfully obeying Christ's command.
Churchnet stands ready to assist churches to engage in mission outreach by providing the following resources:
- missions education materials
- channels for giving to missions causes
- networks for engaging in direct, hands-on mission projects
- training to prepare churches and members for cross-cultural mission experiences
It is our goal to serve the Baptist churches in Missouri by enabling them to become Great Commission churches with a passion to see a lost world introduced to the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Churchnet is committed to assisting volunteers as they seek to become involved in missions. Churchnet provides networking opportunities with a broad range of mission partners. By exploring the myriad of opportunities you can find just the right one for you or your church. We will help you discover an opportunity suited to your specific gifts and calling. You may also want to request a mission team or volunteer to assist your church with a ministry need, or you may suggest a mission opportunity for another congregation to consider.
If are seeking an opportunity or are interested in serving, please contact the Missions Mobilization Team or contact the Churchnet office. We will also help you develop prayer partners for your mission efforts. Please contact us if you have any questions.
