Missions

Join the mission.

Missions is the heartbeat of God, and it is at the heart of all that we do as a church. We are called to share the Good News of Jesus in our local area, the United States and around the world. Through missions, the love of Jesus and tangible acts of service and compassion meet.

As we look to 2026, we have prayerfully considered opportunities where our resources and critical needs intersect. We are honored to return to serve alongside several of our long-term missionary partners, but we are also feeling the call to pursue new opportunities, specifically in several countries of the Asia Pacific region.

Why Asia Pacific? To reach the “never reached” – those who have never heard the name of Jesus. According to the Assemblies of God World Missions (AGWM), 95% of the population in the Asia Pacific region (nearly 1 billion people) are considered totally spiritually lost. With that, we are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for individuals to use their unique talents to reach people for Jesus…one person at a time.

We are all called, and everyone who chooses to go is changed. Will you GO and share your faith?
"To do more than we have ever done before, we will need to pray more than we have ever prayed, give more than we have ever given, and be willing to go where we have never gone."
- Shane Wilson, Lead Pastor

The island of Sumba is steeped in animism, animal sacrifice and idol worship. The House of Hope is a youth mentoring and discipleship complex that was established over 20 years ago by our longtime missionary partner, Doug Hollis, who devoted many years to sharing the love of Jesus on this beautiful island.

We will be taking a multifaceted team to partner with newly appointed missionaries, Mike and Diane Masse, to conduct an
Arts Camp (music, drama, dance and visual art) and a Pickleball Camp. The Arts Camp students will present a mini musical production, and the Pickleball Camp participants will play in an exhibition tournament to show their families what they learned. This approach builds a bridge with the community and invests in the lives of the next generation.

MOROGORO, TANZANIA
Date: July
Team Type: Medical (Adults)
Trip Status: Registration Coming Soon

Our partnership with Bethel Revival Temple in Morogoro and the Tanzania Assemblies of God is long-term and far-reaching. A variety of medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacists, are needed to serve the needs of the less fortunate in the region surrounding our host church. Much of this community has no electricity or running water, and many suffer with illnesses stemming from unsafe water and food sources. There is also space for a limited number of non-medical team members who can assist the medical team and share the love of Jesus through prayer. This team will also minister to children in a local orphanage who desperately need to experience the hope of Jesus.
BANGKOK, THAILAND
Date: August
Team Type: Prayer, Evangelism & Outreach (Adults)
Trip Status: Registration Coming Soon

Last year was the first time we embarked on a trip like this, and it is one we will never forget. Our team will return to Thailand, a country that is steeped in demonic oppression. It is very gripped in Buddhist religious practices and needs a spiritual breakthrough from the strongholds that exist. This small strategic prayer team will undergo an intensive prayer journey, praying strategically for and in some of the most revered Buddhist temples in the country. We will also minister to children through kids’ programs.

Two prerequisites: (1) Participate in a training course based on the book Change the Map: Impacting the Buddhist World through Prayer and Action. (2) Go through an interview process.
SKOPJE, NORTH MACEDONIA
Date: September
Team Type: Construction (Adults)
Trip Status: Registration Coming Soon

We will be partnering with our missionaries, Tim and Ellenora Bentley, to help finish the construction of a church building for a thriving Macedonian church in Strumica, a town outside the capital city of Skopje. This church has been rapidly growing and is in dire need of a larger worship space. Construction of their new church building stalled during COVID and, with their economy struggling to rebound, they have been unable to restart the project. We will also have the opportunity to assist with outreach at a Roma church in the nearby town of Prilep. The Roma people are a very marginalized people group.
RAJASTHAN, INDIA
Date: October
Team Type: Vocational Training (Adults)
Trip Status: Registration Coming Soon

Taking a stand against sex trafficking is a priority of CLA. In support of this, we have taken several teams over the past four years to Ashagaon Village (Village of Hope). This life-changing organization is helping women rebuild their lives after being rescued from the sex trafficking industry by teaching them critical vocational skills and sharing the hope of Jesus. This team will provide training in a variety of important vocations, such as baking, hairdressing, leadership and computer training – or any valuable skills that our team members may have experience in.
TSUKUBA, JAPAN
Date: November
Team Type: Evangelism & Outreach (Adults)
Trip Status: Registration Coming Soon

This will be our first missions team to Japan, and the need is great – only 0.5% of the Japanese people are Christians. Our team will help the international church in Tsukuba prepare for their major Christmas outreach. We will help hang thousands of Christmas lights outside the church and distribute invitations to a Christmas light extravaganza. In Japanese culture, this kind of event draws large crowds and gives the church an opportunity to connect with many people they would never have the chance to connect with otherwise.

Domestic

Thousands of kids are profoundly impacted in their faith every year at faith-based camps across the country.

This camp also hosts a weeklong camp for more than 1,000 Native American teens from reservations across the Pacific Northwest. Our team will be helping to prepare the camp for the many weeks of summer ministry they do with a variety of renovation and construction projects to ensure it is ready to welcome and serve the kids well.

Over the past few years, we have assisted with various building and renovation projects, as well as tackled much-needed home repairs for residents of McDowell County. This county is one of the poorest in the nation, and the need for such work is great. Skilled construction team members, as well as those with basic to advanced renovation abilities, are needed.
