2024 Mission Projects
Adopt A School Each year we connect with a Christian coach in our community to assist by providing snacks, dinners and chapel services for their teams. It’s a small way in which the coach and their staff are encouraged and also where we can come in and help impact the lives of these young students. We pray for the coaching staff, survey what supplies and equipment they need to make their job easier, celebrate with the team on their victories and help with any events we can.

International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983, to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians and to build broad support for Israel.
Lamb and Lion Ministries was founded in 1983, as a non-denominational, independent ministry. The Ministry does not seek to convert people to any particular church. Rather, it seeks to lift up Jesus and draw people to Him as Lord and Savior. The Ministry was established for the purpose of proclaiming the soon return of Jesus. They do not believe it is possible to know the date when Jesus will return. But they do believe it is possible to know the season of the Lord’s return, and it is their conviction that we are living in that season of Ministry.
Love in Action is a clearinghouse for the church community in Wichita. They receive referrals of people in need from participating churches. They then take that information and research the people to find the best direction for each client. If needed, they will refer to other agencies. Some clients are helped with bills or rent to help people get back on their feet. They offer financial counseling to give people direction. They help clients make plans to move forward. To volunteer, please call Linda at 316-928-7800.
