At Christ Covenant we talk often about gathering faithfully so that we can scatter well. Part of how we scatter well is to be ready and willing to “go” out into our workplaces, neighborhoods, and even to other nations with the Gospel. At Christ Covenant we encourage our members to consider going out to join in the ministry efforts of our church planters, missionaries, and churches beyond our city. We do this primarily through short-term, mid-term, and long-term sending.

Long-Term

Because God uses the means of the local church to accomplish His work of redemption around the world, we are committed to identifying, assessing, and developing qualified long-term missionaries from our church to go to the nations. We aim to accomplish this objective by utilizing the mechanisms in Christ Covenant’s sending pipeline.

Let us know you want to be sent

Mid-Term

There are a number of opportunities in conjunction with our Reach the World Partners to provide further practical on-the-field training through 3-month to 1-year-long internships. These opportunities will allow prospective long-term missionaries to gain further experience and assessment in an overseas context.

Short-Term

We are committed to doing short-term missions faithfully, sending our own teams to strengthen partners, mobilize future long-term missionaries, and build missions awareness into our church. We offer many short-term trips every year (see below for this year’s trips).
