WHAT is Missions and WHY do we engage our church family and our community in "Helping us help others"?
First, missions is the sharing of HOPE and LOVE through acts of service in our community, our state, our nation and around the world.
Second, we are convinced that Jesus established churches so that they would be His ambassadors in this world and not just speaking about it but actually going and living out the what He has taught us.
We would love you to join us as we serve LOCALLY, In WASHINGTON & OXFORD COUNTIES. In MEXICO, NICARAGUA and GUATEMALA.
You can also be a huge help by joining us with our annual pledges to financial support many missions organizations and people around our world with a FAITH PROMISE PLEDGE.

Guatemala
OUR GUATEMALA CONNECTIONS
Guatemala is about the size of Tennessee
but has a population 3 times greater. This 3rd world country is home to
some of the most amazing historical pyramids, jungles, and a rich and
beautiful culture colored by a proud and dynamic people. We partner with
an amazing church in Guatemala City, working side by side in the
indigenous villages in the north-eastern area around the Rio Dulce
River. Some of the villages are more than 1000 years old and their Mayan
heritage still runs deep.
Our
partner in Guatemala, C.C.C.G. began working in these villages over 15 years ago and we have found them to be friendly and responsive. Our goal
is to bring HOPE to these untouched group of villages. Building them up
through their village church, school and local Elder’s to be more
self-sufficient, healthier and better educated. We do this with
sponsored feeding programs, construction projects including: clinics,
schools, churches and retreat centers as well as camp teams that visit
each of the villages.
We build teams to travel to Guatemala on a regular basis and love to include as many as possible on these life changing trips.
Mexico
OUR MEXICO CONNECTIONS
We have a long-standing relationship with our

Nicaragua
How we serve in Nicaragua:
CICRIN is a non-denominational church
and Christian home for needy children located on Ometepe Island in
Nicaragua, a poor, economically isolated country where the average
worker earns only $4.70 per day.
One of our purposes is to improve
the lives of Nicaraguan children who are orphaned, abandoned, or are in
danger in their homes by partnering with the village church and it’s
orphanage. Additionally, we do construction projects with the orphanage
as well as in the surrounding villages. We also provide uplift
opportunities to the families in the surrounding areas based on the
skills of each team.
Please stay tuned for updates and team
meeting dates and times.

Serve locally
We learn so much through acts of service and kindness. As a church
family we desire to be fully engaged in the positive transformation of
our families and neighbors in the Oxford Hills communities.
Local Missions Highlight:
Children's Food Ministry, aka Feed the Kids!
Through monetary & physical donations we are able to provide much
needed food for an average of 27 children at the local elementary
school each week for the entire school year. Reports & cards are a testament that this ministry is blessing these young lives.
What is our GOAL?
THE TRANSFORMATION OF 100 FAMILIES
IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS.
The question for all of us is HOW?
The question for YOU is:
