Short Term Missions

Summer 2025

Vision Statement

The vision of STM Ministry is for our church to respond to the calling of our missionary identity through active participation in short-term missions. We desire for all to go out and be transformed by witnessing God’s heart for the nations, as well as supporting and interceding for our STM teams and missionary partners from our base in Los Angeles. These trips are formed with a focus on discipleship and relationship building so that our church members may learn to embody a consistent missional lifestyle in every season and circumstance.
