We love to support overseas mission because we wish to help fulfil the Great Commission to make disciples of all peoples. As a church we enter into partnership with other churches and individuals to support and encourage those who are called to serve overseas. The partners and missionaries we currently support with prayer and finances are below.
Contact Barbara Walls, our Missions Coordinator, for more information about our missions programmes:
