Missions

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent?”  Romans 10:14-15

King Jesus sends his followers into the whole world to disciple the nations.  What could be better than sharing the greatest story ever told?  We equip ourselves as a missions-sending fellowship through:

• Knowing our missionaries
• Supporting them
• Visiting and helping them
• Learning about missions
• Praying for their work

Events

Throughout the year visiting missionaries share with us on Sunday morning or in small groups or special events.

Every October we invite special guest speakers to expand our global vision during our Missions Week.  This is the time we each prayerfully pledge financial support to our missionaries for the coming year.  Our missions budget is separate from the operations budget and is based upon the “faith promise” pledges received from the congregation during the October Missions Week.

SSBC’s Disciple Training Institute offers a basic introduction to world missions.

Every year, mission trips are organized to give people first-hand experience on the mission field.

On the fourth Sunday of the month, we gather to pray for our missionaries’ specific prayer requests.

We encourage every household to adopt a missionary to correspond with and to uphold in prayer.  Lisa Towle, our Missionary Contact Coordinator, would be glad to suggest a missionary for you to adopt.
