Ministries that our church and/or Connection Groups partner with throughout the year:
Southern Baptist Disaster Relief responds to disasters across the US and around the world. Reach people in need with practical help and the hope of the gospel.
SERVING
WHOMEVER…
WHATEVER…
WHENEVER…
WHEREVER…
HOWEVER!
Disaster Relief is something we participate in several times throughout the year. Several training sessions are offered throughout the year.
Becoming a disaster relief volunteer provides an excellent opportunity for hands on service to people in need. Training is open to any member of a Southern Baptist Church who is at least 18 years of age. Attending training does not obligate you to serve but is necessary before serving. For more information: http://mobaptist.org/dr/ or see Laurie Huffman to find out how you can get involved.
The Evangelism Ministry has several different activities you can join with us in sharing God’s love.
One of our favorite, frequent activities is RAK (Random Acts of Kindness). We send small teams around our city where we offer to perform small acts of service or offer a free token – showing God’s love to them. We would love to have you join us in this mission too! We go out to serve our community the last Wednesday of each month at 6:15 PM. See Laurie Huffman for this outreach.
If you are interested in serving with our evangelism team to reach our city for Christ, please contact us at 816-262-6307 or you may email office@gvchurch.com.
Green Valley is blessed to join the body of Christ globally to carry out our Lord’s Great Commission:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19,20 Each year, we try to send a team from Green Valley on a week long missions trip.
We’ve taken trips to places like New Orleans, Mexico, Toronto, Toledo, Ohio and Denver, Colorado. We’ve also been a part of teams traveling to Guatemala, Haiti and Cuba. Each trip is different and can involve various activities from construction work, Bible Clubs and street evangelism.
