Missions Festival 2026: Declare His Glory Among the Nations
Our Missions Festival is a joyful, week-long celebration of what God is doing through the gospel—both here at home and around the world. Throughout the week, you’ll meet local and global missionaries, hear how Christ is changing lives, experience exciting events and discover how each of us is called to declare His glory among the nations (Psalm 96:3).
Dates: February 21 - March 1
Psalm 96:3: “Declare His Glory Among the Nations”
Give towards Missions Through Faith Promise
Along with prayer, Faith Promise giving is your most direct route to actively making a difference in world missions. A Faith Promise pledge is a prayerful vow to give a specific amount above your normal tithe which will go directly to the Missions Ministry.
We have faith that God would do the miraculous in the hearts of people. We ask you to ask God, in faith, to give you something unexpected that you can give to Missions. Your role is to ask, watch, and then give some or all of it to Missions, becoming a crucial part of the extraordinary work God is accomplishing through our church’s global outreach efforts.
