Missions and the Local Church

The world of Christian missions as an expression of God’s mission to the world is constantly developing. Churches struggle to understand their role in this swiftly changing landscape. How can their efforts make a difference in cross-cultural ministry? How can priorities for support, prayer and participation be established? How can people be recruited to participate in this aspect of God’s mission?

FEBInternational and Northwest Baptist Seminary want to guide our FEBCC churches towards effective and fulfilling cross-cultural ministry involvement.  To this end, we are providing a variety of resources and opportunities to support and enhance our churches’ current involvement in missions and cross-cultural ministry.  Follow the links to view details of the following:

Workshops for FEBCC church missions mobilizers and missions committees to be held on the TWU campus in Langley, B.C. and on Vancouver island.

Many churches are involved in sending short term missions teams.  This dedication of time and resources is sometimes well spent with lasting positive impact, and at other times represents a missed opportunity to expose people to a fuller understanding of our calling to be involved in the God’s mission to the world.  With the aim of supporting and enhancing these efforts in our churches, our desire is to assist churches in using these opportunities as teachable moments that will lead the team to greater commitment.  Check out the support we offer for church based Short Term Missions.

We are also interested in providing information about those resources that we have found to be especially relevant to the needs of FEBCC churches.

Check out the Code of Best Practices for Church Missions Mobilizers to evaluate your church’s current approach to missions involvement.

If you are interested in increasing the impact and effectiveness of your church based cross-cultural ministries and missions committee / team, or if your church has something to offer in this area please contact:
