SOUTH OC MISSIONS

WHAT IS MISSIONS?

SERVING | SUPPORTING | SENDING

The Missions Ministry at Calvary South OC is dedicated to obeying Jesus’ call to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). We are committed to serving the Lord and missionaries through mission trips, supporting missionaries with prayer and care, and sending workers into the harvest, both short and long term (Luke 10:2, Acts 1:8). Whether across the street or across the globe, our desire is to “declare His glory among the nations” (Psalm 96:3) and invite you to be part of sharing His love to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:19, Romans 10:14-15).
