WELCOME TO MISSIONS MINISTRIES
Our church takes seriously the mandate that Jesus gave His church in Acts 1:8, “You shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
I am so grateful that the church was obedient to this mandate over the centuries- otherwise we wouldn’t be here today! Likewise, we are committed to be faithful witnesses in our “Jerusalem” or the city of Fresno, and throughout the world.
We partner with many local, national and international missionaries to spread the gospel to everyone on earth. We have included a listing of all of our missions partners , a description of their mission and their missions organization’s website.
