Missions

Brownstown Christian Church has had a long involvment in missions ministry, both local and abroad. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to not only see what missions we support are doing on their soil, but also to experience missions on a firsthand basis through the tool of short-term mission trips. Each month, on the first Sunday of the month we set aside a portion of our service to allow a short presentation of a "mission of the month". Sometimes these missions are put together in a video format, for others they are an oral presentation by a member of our missions ministry team. Below is a listing of the monthy mission that is supported and some information related to that support.
