Missions, first and foremost, is an act of worship to God. It is our obedience to His command to make his Name known throughout the Nations and to give all people the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel. With this in mind, Urbancrest’s goal is to help the Whole Church take the Whole Gospel to the Whole World. So, who is the Whole Church? It is every individual that has personally trusted Jesus for their salvation, including every member at Urbancrest. Our desire is that every believer understands that part of the normal Christian life is being on mission wherever they are.

We provide opportunity to become personally involved through any, or all, of Praying, Giving, Going and Sending. Our desire is for people to use the gifts, talents and abilities that God has given to them in obedience to the call He has placed on their lives. Some primary functions of the Missions Department are providing opportunities for people to join God on His mission through equipping, training and resourcing at all levels and to inspire them to join the exciting journey of being on mission.

When it comes to missions, Urbancrest has an outward, Kingdom-building focus. We work with people from all nations in various ministries, including local outreach, church plants, prisons, orphanages, leadership training, medical services, food distribution and more.

A key requirement for our partnerships is that the Gospel is shared and people are given an opportunity to respond and be discipled. Through the generous giving of Urbancrest members, we’re able to provide regular, ongoing financial support to missionary partners and fund specific projects such as Bibles, food, clothing, training, medicinal and many other needs.
