Missions

Crestview is a mission-minded church. A good portion of every dollar received through our offerings support local, national & global missions! We have partnered with international missionaries as well as state & local ministries for many years. Our goal is to support them through prayer, financial gifts, and short-term trips.


HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED? 

  • GO - Seeing the mission field with your own eyes can change your worldview as you better understand the physical and spiritual needs of people everywhere. Our missions team provides us with local, national, and international service opportunities.
  • GIVE - If you tithe at Crestview, you are already involved. However, most missionaries have additional financial needs. Email missions@crestviewchristian.org to find out how you can give to a specific mission.
  • PRAY - Our missionaries are on the front lines of battle. They need you. Through your prayers they will be strengthened, and you will become a part of their mission. Together, your actions and prayers will help extend the Kingdom of God.
  • LEARN - If you would like to know more about how missions accomplish God’s plan for the world, check out the Intercultural Studies classes, offered through Manhattan Christian College.
  • APPLY - If you're applying for an international short term mission trip sponsored by Crestview, then please fill out the form here.
