Outreach

Learning to love Jesus and compelled to sacrificially demonstrate and proclaim His love to our lost and dying world is our mission or Aspen Grove Community Church (AGCC). Everyone at AGCC is expected to participate with God in His redemptive plan of winning the lost, sanctifying His people, correcting injustice and renewing creation in one or more of the following four spheres of ministry:

  1. Inside the church. Click on Serve!
  2. Outside the church but in the same community (same or cross-cultural).
  3. Outside the church locally (city and beyond, same or cross-cultural).
  4. Global - cross-cultural and short-term or long-term.
