The Christ Covenant Global Missions Conference is an annual event where our church dedicates time to engage its members in the advancement of the Kingdom of God. The theme this year is "An Open Door." We will be highlighting some of our supported missionaries through their testimonies and discover ways we can be involved in the Great Commission. Sunday school communities will have the opportunity to hear from missionaries in South America, Europe, and the Middle East. In both the morning and the evening services Mack Stiles, the founding pastor of an international church in Northern Iraq, will be preaching. You won't want to miss this opportunity to be encouraged and challenged. More information will be available this coming week on a Global Missions Conference page that include bios of all of our speakers.
