We are following the model that Jesus gave us in Acts 1:8, which says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Thus, we focus on local, state, national, and international missions. Through this, as a church, we focus on the following areas.
LOCAL MISSIONS

Serve NC
Week: Aug. 2-9 Any project. Any day.
ServeNC Week is an opportunity for every N.C. Baptist church to love its community in Jesus’ name through service projects. Every church. Every community.
If our church didn’t exist, would our neighborhoods even notice the absence? Whether it’s painting a school, cleaning up a yard or serving meals to those in need, these needs are the very platform where we can display the love and grace of Christ right where we live!
Come and be a part of what God is doing in our neighborhoods and in our hearts as we obey His command to love and serve those around us as a part of making disciples of the nations!

Tanzania Missions Trips
Over the past few years God has given us the privilege of joining Him in Tanzania, where He is accomplishing amazing things to draw the Masai people to Himself.
He has led us to partner with three incredible mission organizations— The International Ministry of Jesus, Ethnos 360, and Here's Life Africa—to spread the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
Together, we are making disciples, equipping local church leaders, and empowering Masai missionaries to reach surrounding tribes with the Gospel. Come and be a part of what God is doing and help ignite lasting transformation in East Africa!
Indonesia Missions Trips
Since the McAtee’s joined our church family a few years ago, we have had the privilege of being a part of what God is doing among the unreached people groups of Indonesia.
Come and help us proclaim the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and to strengthen local churches to carry out the work of making disciples of Jesus Christ for God’s glory!
We want to see Indonesian churches, not only empowered to reach their own people, but also to surrender themselves to the task of taking the Gospel to the nations as well!
