WHY MISSIONS?
Evangelistic mission is one of Renewal’s core values and we endeavor to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). We seek to spread the Gospel locally, globally and among unreached people groups through witness, church planting and missions.
We are blessed to be part of Acts Ministries International, a community of churches seeking to model the spirituality, vision, and partnership exemplified in the book of Acts. Check out the AMI 2024 Q3 Newsletter for updates around AMI!

From meeting immediate needs to providing lasting solutions, CityTeam programs restore lives and rebuild communities. Renewal supports City Team in the Neighborhood - a food pantry program that help families living in low-income neighborhoods put food on the table, and make ends meet.
