Mission
DISCIPLESHIP THROUGH MISSIONSAs a disciple-making church, we plan for Missions to be integrated into church life through three levels:• Level 1 Missions Adoption
All members and small groups are involved in short-term mission trips and regularly pray for an adopted region.
• Level 2 Missions MentoringMembers are selected for one-on-one development to identify missions calling, character, and commitment.Find out more about the Missions Mentoring Programme.
• Level 3 Missions SendingMembers are selected for internship programmes where they are sent out into the field through a church or agency. We believe that this process will aid our church in fulfilling God's plan of making disciples of all nations.
