Why Kenya?

God has opened the door for us to serve in Kenya this July 9-18. Our team will be partnering with local ministries to share the hope of Christ through evangelism, discipleship, and community outreach.

We believe this isn’t just a trip—it’s part of a bigger mission to make disciples of all nations.

This is how our church will live out our value of having a missional impact locally and internationally:

Evangelism & Gospel conversations
Children & student ministry
Local church partnership
Community outreach opportunities

Meet the team.

Our team is made up of students and adults who have said “yes” to God’s call to go. Each person is preparing spiritually, relationally, and practically for this mission.
