National Missions

Local Missions Strategy

Church planting is the foundation of our national missions strategy because we believe evangelism and discipleship are most effective in the context of a healthy local church. We are blessed to have long-time partner relationships in Colorado, Montana, Oregon, New Mexico, New York and North Carolina.

Long-term (more than two years)

The International Mission Board (IMB) is our primary partner for mobilizing long-term missionaries. Right now, the IMB has funding to send more missionaries but not enough people to fill those positions. Consider partnering with Bellevue Missions and the IMB to learn how you might be able to fulfill your call to long-term missions.
