Missions

Making Christ known here, across cultures, and among the nations.

Pray. Give. Go.

Missions is more than a trip or an offering. It is part of the ongoing life of the church, and every follower of Jesus has a role to play.

Pray
Pray for missionaries, churches, unreached peoples, and gospel work taking place around the world.

Give
Give generously to help support missionaries, church planting, ministry partnerships, and gospel work locally, nationally, and internationally.

Go
Share the gospel where God has already placed you, and remain open to wherever He may call you to serve.

Regular Rhythms

  • We believe the local church has a role in sending people out and sustaining them as they take the gospel to places near and far. Through prayer, financial support, encouragement, and ongoing partnership, we want to faithfully stand behind missionaries serving around the world.

  • Short-term trips give our church opportunities to serve alongside trusted ministry partners, meet practical needs, and share the gospel in communities beyond our own. These trips are designed to support long-term ministry already happening on the ground.

  • Through our partnership with NMSU Christian Challenge, college students are sent out each summer to serve on mission for several months. These extended trips give students the opportunity to share the gospel, serve alongside local ministries, and grow in their own faith as they live on mission in a different context.

  • Each Christmas, we give through the International Mission Board to help send and sustain missionaries carrying the gospel to people and places around the world. Every dollar given through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes directly to supporting international missionaries and their work.

  • Each Easter, we partner with the North American Mission Board to support missionaries serving throughout the United States and Canada. These gifts help equip church planters and missionaries as they start churches, share the gospel, and serve communities across North America.

  • The State Missions Offering allows us to invest directly in gospel work across New Mexico. Through the Baptist Convention of New Mexico, these gifts help strengthen churches, support church planting, and fund ministries serving communities throughout our state.

MISSION OFFERINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

Heart of Missions at calvary

"From his covenant with Abraham to Jesus commissioning His Disciples, Scripture reveals a God whose glory is meant to be known amongst all the nations. We recognize the importance of Jesus' strategy for reaching the nations, the role of the church in God's global plan, the reality of unreached people groups, and how Southern Baptists partner together through giving, sending, and going. We seek to faithfully support missionaries, share our own testimony, cross cultures with humility, and respond obediently to God's call -- whether nearby or to the ends of the earth."

Partnering Together

We believe churches can accomplish more together than we can alone. Through our partnership with other Southern Baptist churches, we participate in gospel work across New Mexico, throughout North America, and around the world through the Baptist Convention of New Mexico, the North American Mission Board, and the International Mission Board.

These partnerships allow us to help send missionaries, plant churches, strengthen ministries, and take the Gospel to places our church could never reach by itself.

Mission Starts Where You Are

Jesus sends His people to the nations, but that calling begins wherever He has already placed us.

Our homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and community are all places where we have opportunities to know people, share our testimony, serve others, and make the gospel known.

We want to be a church that is willing to cross the street as faithfully as we are willing to cross the world.
