Across the street...
When most people think about missions, they visualize someone going far
away to a place and people they do not know. However, at Carolina Forest Community Church our vision
of missions is "Across the street and around the world". We believe that mission
work truly begins at home. Since the beginning of this church, the members have
actively served the Carolina Forest Community
through many programs and outreach activities. Every individual may not feel a call to take a foreign mission trip this year, but every individual is called
to
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorigy your father which is in heaven" Matthew 5:16
So during the coming year, please take time to plug into one or more of the local mission
activities listed below. God will greatly bless you for your efforts, and you will meet and
work with some wonderful people who attend Carolina Forest Community Church right along with you.
Around the world...
We've been called to "Go" so that is what we are doing. Every year Carolina Forest Community Church goes all around the world on short-term mission trips. If you have never been on a mission trip, be prepared for an experience that you will never forget. The purpose of these trips is always to minister in some way to those who need it in different cultures.
It's hard to comprehend what it would be like to live without hearing about Jesus Christ. We often take for granted the privileges we have in the United States, to worship our Savior and to study the bible, while there are countries all throughout the world that will not allow the slightest Christian activity within their borders. These countries are home to millions of God's people who have never been exposed to the story of Jesus' love.
