Missions

Mission Statement:
To equip and mobilize New Life CityChurch to join with the global church in God’s mission of making disciples among every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Why missions is important?

At New Life CityChurch, we believe that fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ is our ultimate calling. We are passionate about sharing the love of Christ and making disciples of all nations. Through our missions program, we seek to partner with individuals and organizations around the world who share our passion for spreading the Gospel. These ministry partners play a vital role in our efforts to reach the nations, and we are committed to building strong relationships with them as we work together to advance God's Kingdom. We support a variety of initiatives, from providing clean water and basic needs in impoverished communities to training local pastors and sending out missionaries to unreached people groups. Our goal is to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel and to bring glory to God through our missions efforts.

Mission Partners

For many, life in the city offers only a bleak existence.  The bitter realities of human slavery, homelessness, neglect, and food insecurity plague the lives of countless men, women, and children in cities around the globe.  Although none of these issues are easy to solve, the love of Jesus compels us, followers of Jesus and kingdom citizens, to action.  Cru is partnering with hundreds of like-minded churches and passionate organizations in an effort to catalyze Gospel transformation and bring light to the darkest places of the city.

Local Missions

We are passionate about serving our community and sharing the love of Christ with those around us. Each year, we organize a summer missions trip to Kansas City in July, where we work together to serve the needs of the city and share the message of hope with those we meet.

During the summer mission, called For My City, we partner with local organizations to provide practical assistance, such as food distribution, home repair, and community outreach and engagement. We also offer opportunities for prayer and sharing the Gospel with those we serve.

Local Partners: City Union Mission and Shelter KC.

International Mission Trips

In addition to our annual summer missions trip, we are planning to organize short-term mission trips in 2027. These trips will provide opportunities for our members to experience firsthand the joys and challenges of cross-cultural ministry and share their faith with others around the world.

We believe that missions is an integral part of our calling as followers of Christ, and we are committed to supporting and equipping our members for this important work. If you are interested in learning more about our mission trips or getting involved, we invite you to contact us or join us for our next missions event.
