Missions at First Church

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

~ Matthew 28: 19-20 (NIV)

Our missions and ministry opportunities here at First Church are a vital component to our spiritual growth. We believe that the path of discipleship must include putting our faith into action (see James 2: 14-26). Members of our church family are active in mission opportunities both here locally and overseas. Wherever God is calling you, we have a great missions opportunity for you.

Cuba Missions

Started in 2016, through the leading of the Holy Spirit we have formed a partnership with United Methodist Conference of Cuba. As travel restrictions have eased, we have made more than a dozen short-term mission trips into Cuba over the past 2+ years. Most our work has been coordinating through local churches in Holguin and Havana.

Sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam. In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.
