The church is a global movement with a global mission each and every one of us are called to play a part in. It is for this reason that we support several foreign missionaries and organizations through a combination of financial support and short-term mission trips.
Echo Ranch, a ministry of Avant, is a camp ministry that reaches out to children and teens in Southeast Alaska.
