Missions is at the heart of Christianity. From the earliest days, Christians have shared the love, hope, and message of Jesus beyond the walls of their own community. For us, missions aren't just a program; they're an expression of who we are called to be. Jesus' command to "go and make disciples of all nations" isn't a suggestion; it's central part of the church's identity. Through missions, we reach out to all our neighbors, meeting physical needs, building relationships, and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in both word and deed.

Shoe Boxes
Each year our church helps prepare and send the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes. Packed with quality toys, school supplies, personal care items, and religious material, these boxes become a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. The idea is to bring a bit of joy and hope to kids who might not otherwise receive gifts, and every box is delivered alongside a message about the Christian faith. It's a simple way for people to make a direct, tangible impact in a child's life, one shoebox at a time.
YWAM
Steve and Barbara Johnson work with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) in Budapest, Hungary where they serve as Base Leaders. The goal is to reach the younger generation with the gospel of Jesus Christ in a country that is slowly emerging from decades of oppression and occupation. The YWAM Base in Budapest offers a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and is engaged in outreach throughout the city.
TWOP
Missionaries Steve & Pamela English moved to Guatemala in 1994 as intercultural ministers. They founded The World our Parish (TWOP) in 1998 to fund their ministries, which include: 1) Meeting the spiritual, emotional, and physical growth of young adults who grew up in La Senda's Home in Guatemala, 2) Providing training for spiritual formation among churches and believers from different nationalities, and 3) Pressing into intercessory prayer for the unreached nations of the world.
2nd Chance
Second Chance is a resale store in La Grange, operated by volunteers from a coalition of seven local churchs and the wider community. Since 1996, Second Chance has raised over $4 million for local charities and human service organizations by reselling donated goods at low prices, making essentials accessible to families in need across Fayette County. Profits support a variety of programs, including food pantries, healthcare, scholarships, and emergency assistance, while unsold items are donated to those facing hardship. The churches involved receive no financial benefit from the store - Second Chance exists to serve and uplift the community.
AMEN (Food Pantry)
Amen in La Grange is the local food pantry serving the community by providing food and encouragement to individuals and families in need. Each week, a team of dedicated volunteers ensures the pantry remains clean, well stocked, and ready to welcome those who seek assistance. Amen accepts personal donations of food, cash, and gift cards.
Amen is open on Mondays from 9:00am to 11:45am. Donations are accepted on Mondays from 8:30am to Noon or Thursdays from 10:00am to Noon.
