At LVCC, we are dedicated to supporting local and global ministries. Our commitment to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is deeply rooted in our identity as a church. Because we believe the good news is to be taken to the ends of the earth, we not only give to support local and global ministries but we maintain a strong connection with the missionaries we support. Below, you will see the ministries that we support, a link to their individual websites, and a brief description of what these ministries work to achieve.
We encourage you to not only follow the links to the ministries that we support and partner with, but we encourage you to pray for these ministries. Each week, 10% of our offering goes to support these ministries. Every October, we dedicate the month to hosting our ministry partners and inviting them to remind us of their work. To be a member of LVCC is to have a local and global perspective on the lostness of humanity and the need for all to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. These ministries are not only groups we support, but they are the means through which LVCC is able to live out the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
