Missions
Bellevue is answering the call to Share Jesus throughout the world until Jesus comes back. God is equipping our body of believers with a variety of resources and opportunities to help you get involved to be a catalyst for spiritual awakening in Memphis and beyond.
Opportunities
At Bellevue, we offer a variety of ways for you to get involved in service opportunities within the church, throughout our city, and around the world.
Memphis
The best way we can seek to be a catalyst for spiritual awakening in Memphis and beyond is by starting to serve right here in our city!
School Supplies Giveaway
Saturday, July 31
Fellowship Hall
Each year, Bellevue members donate school supplies to fill backpacks for students across our city. It’s that time of year again. If your family is in need and would like to register to receive a filled backpack, we invite you to pre-register soon as supplies are limited. And for those that are ready to Serve Out through this giveaway event and fill a backpack with gifted supplies, empty backpacks are available in each of our lobbies. Let’s go, Bellevue Family. It’s time to love on some kids with new school supplies!
Bellevue Loves Memphis Workday
Our next Workday is Saturday, August 28.
Join together with the Bellevue Family as we Share Jesus and contribute to city renewal. Through our Bellevue Loves Memphis Workdays, you will have the opportunity to show the love of God to our community through a variety of projects.
Pathways
In 2019, Bellevue introduced Pathways as a way for its members to come alongside and volunteer with established ministries in Memphis. These Pathways are a part of the 2018 Love Offering, Loving Memphis Like It Matters. The Pathways are distinctly helping Memphis through four different categories—Churches, Parachurches, Education, and Economic Growth. Learn about these ministries and how you can volunteer within our city to share the Gospel.
BIBLES FOR CHINA
Bibles For China Thrift Center is one of many stores in the U.S. operating under The Bibles for Missions Ministry. The Memphis store opened in 2001 and in 2014 Bellevue began a partnership with the store. Operating as a non-profit organization, Bibles for China is able to focus their profits on furthering the Kingdom of God. You can Serve Out with Bibles For China through shopping, donating items, or volunteering at the store.
Christian Mobile Dental Clinic
The idea for the Christian Mobile Dental Clinic began as part of our Bellevue Loves Memphis program. The Christian Mobile Dental Clinic works in cooperation with local churches and organizations. If you are in need of dental care, please contact your local church or non-profit organization. Due to high demand, we ask that you do not contact Bellevue’s Christian Mobile Dental Clinic directly.
Beyond
With partnerships all around the world, Bellevue has limitless opportunities for you to Serve the nations.
Missions Projects
Bellevue offers a variety of national and international mission projects each year that contribute to a variety of ministries. These projects strive to serve others, share the Gospel, and be the hands and feet of Christ all around the world. This is also an opportunity to be a part of a team with experienced leaders that will help you grow personally and spiritually. Take a look at the current mission projects and pray about going and taking His Gospel to Memphis and beyond.
SEND OUT TRAINING

Pioneer Evangelism
Pioneer Evangelism (PE) is a church-planting effort based solely upon the ministry of Jesus. Developed by Dr. Wade Akins as a result of years of ministry as a missionary in Brazil, PE has a tremendous impact in strengthening existing churches and starting new churches around the world. The basis of PE is found in Matthew 28:19-20 and focuses on what Jesus did while on earth – He formed a team, He trained a team, and He sent them out.

When we think of missions at Bellevue, we tend to think of short-term missions projects or Bellevue Loves Memphis Workdays. These are essential parts of our strategy to fulfill the Great Commission, and we have seen lives changed and souls saved through these efforts. But, this is only the beginning.
In 2021, we are turning our attention to a crucial question: What would it look like for you to be completely committed to the mission of God?
Bellevue has adoopted the term Missionary Task to help our members view their lives through the lens of the Great Commission.
