God has given us the wonderful privilege of partnering with Him in the work of expanding His kingdom.

We believe that our own community and city are great places to share the news of Christ’s love. We do this through local efforts like TUGA, a free clothing exchange, and Mission: Roanoke, an annual, weeklong missions event.

At the same time, our Missions Ministry works hard to educate and inform us about global missions work. They provide opportunities for us to participate in missions work, and they help train and send out missionaries from our church.

Our hands-on Missions Station helps our kids learn about missions, give to missions, and pray for missions.

We take missions very seriously! We support 38 missionaries and missions organizations: 11 in the Roanoke Valley and Virginia, 6 in the United States, and 21 around the world! In the past 15 years, we have sent 15 missionaries and missionary families to the mission field. We dedicate 21% of our budget to missions!

The purpose behind all missions work here is that we would be people with a world vision who are willing and able to take the good news of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.

MIssions Leadership Team
Our Missions Ministry is led by our  Missions Leadership Team, a group of men and women who are committed to seeing the kingdom of God being expanded right here in the Roanoke Valley and all the way to the ends of the earth. It is made up of church members and pastoral staff members.

The team meets monthly to pray, discuss missions support, missions works, and missions education at Rainbow Forest. They also prayerfully consider how God would have Rainbow Forest spend the money He has entrusted to our care.
