We send mission team across the street and across the globe. Here are some ways to connect:
American families, singles, and college students connect with an international student once a month during the academic year. Relationships are built by including the student in normal activities such as meals, holidays, hobbies, school activities, etc. This hospitality ministry is a rich cultural exchange for everyone involved.
Many international students are coming to Oklahoma City University for English Language School. Many need housing during their time here. It is a great opportunity to learn about another culture, and share the love of Christ with people in your own home. Homestays are compensated to help offset the cost of having a student in their home. For more info, call the church office or e-mail
Do you sense God’s calling to serve among a particular cultural group? Check out the Northwest Network - there are plenty of ways to share the love and good news of Christ with the people of these congregations through ministries like helping with conversational English, tutoring, transportation, childcare, learning their language and more.
Each year we send scores of adult and student volunteers on short term mission teams to serve and reach people in our state, North America, and other countries. E-mail the missions office for a current list of projects.
Our current international mission focus is a city on the other side of the globe. Our vision is that the gospel will be communicated in God’s power to everyone in this city through church planting movements. Opportunities for short term and long term service exist in this city. The harvest is ready - to learn how to be a worker in this field.
