Missions Vision 2024

The MET's mission strategy is to cultivate meaningful relationships with Christ-centered churches and organizations dedicated to uplifting human dignity and making disciples of Jesus.

Our work with our mission partners is manifested through three impactful avenues:

We Serve
  • We invest our time and God-given talents in ways that inspire and fortify the mission of our global partners.
  • We provide coaching, consulting, and training, focusing on strategic humanitarian and disciple-making initiatives.
  • We serve in a posture of humility with the desire to also learn from our partners and grow in effectiveness locally. 
We Support
  • We invest our resources to help fund our partners’ work. 
We Send
  • We mobilize our people to engage in God’s redemptive work locally and globally.
  • We come alongside local leadership to address their needs and advance their mission.
  • We recognize that our experiences shape us into the image of Christ, so we approach missions with humility and a servant’s heart.
