Every year we provide opportunities for you to impact others by being the hands and feet of Jesus.
Missions trips are just one of the ways we are able to accomplish this goal.

be selective
While we would love to send support everywhere there is a need, we have found that a bigger impact can be made on a smaller scale.
be strategic
Having a clear purpose for reaching an area allows us to focus time, energy & resources in the most effective way possible.
go deep
For us building relationships is key. We want to know who it is we are reaching - to put a name to a face makes all the difference in the world.
go often
We don't want to simply visit an area or region once and never return. We believe we are called to make a lasting investment in the areas and communities we serve. In order to do that we must minister and visit as often as we can.

So often when you hear the word "Missions" you think of far away places that you could never afford to go to, but what I love about Missions at Central is that we recognize the mission field is all around us. I don't have to go far outside my door to see that there are a lot of hurt and broken people who need to know the transforming power of Jesus Christ. I get so excited when I see God working through our family at Central - whether it's in El Salvador or at the Central Ministry Center - to advance His Kingdom!
