Extending Love Outward Through Mission Work

Authentic and Vital Opportunities For Action and Justice

Mission work allows us to turn discipleship outward. At this point in our journey, we actively see the connection between healing suffering and Jesus’s message to be a light in the world, offering peace and good news. Many members of Lakeland Community Church choose to attend church mission trips. We help build the kingdom of God close to home and far away.

Our Forward Together Financial Challenge

We also support our mission ministry through giving. The people of Lakeland Community Church are shockingly generous. Every three years we start a new financial challenge, Forward Together, to support all our church missions and trips.

In every challenge, we meet or exceed the financial goals set forth by everyone who commits.
