Central Missions
Central Community Missions empowers followers of Jesus to “live the mission” by connecting people to resources, education, and local and global experiences to encourage engagement in missional living. We are committed to serving the city of Wichita, and to taking the Gospel to the world. It’s because of that #wichita2world calling that we have chosen to partner with organizations around the globe.
The Mindset
The missions experiences with our partner ministries focuses on one or more of the purposes we’ve identified to “Live the Mission”:
Love. We don’t need to be the heroes. Many times we just need to provide love and encouragement to our partner ministries.
Investigate. We make it a priority to thoroughly investigate the ministries with which we partner to make sure we are good stewards of the resources to we have been entrusted.
Volunteer. There will always be opportunities to volunteer around the world, but we will only do that which is helpful for our partner ministries.
Educate. We offer training and seminars for our partner ministries when needed, and take trips ourselves to learn and return home to live the mission more effectively.
Locally
Central strategically partners with these local ministries to create engagement and service opportunities for our congregation to serve the Kingdom within our city: His Helping Hands, Hope is Alive, Hope Ranch for Women, Wichita Children’s Home (Crossroads), Youth Horizons, and Embrace Wichita. We host community outreach events on our campus, including Candy Rush in October, Thanksgiving meal distribution in November, and taking thousands of cookies to prison inmates at Christmas.
Globally
Our congregation has served and made a difference across the world through dynamic missions trips and partnerships with Church of God National Ministries (Anderson, IN), Kansas Church of God State Ministries and our Global Ministry Partners: Children of Promise, Heart for Lebanon, H.E.A.R.T. Institute, Heart to Honduras, Youth With A Mission, P.ink Door Berlin. Additionally, we support missionaries Steve and Peggy Beverly with Church of God in Sri Lanka; Nate and Stacy Tatman, who serve as regional coordinators with Church of God for Europe and the Middle East (located in Spain); and John and Gwen Johnson, who serve as regional coordinators with Church of God for Africa (located in Egypt).
