Beyond Borders Ministry exists to motivate and organize Christ-centered outreach in our community and faithfully support missionaries who go beyond the borders to reach those we cannot physically reach.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the ends of the age." - Matthew 28:19-20
Beyond Borders Missions oversees and promotes the U.S. and World Missionaries/Ministries of our church under the direction of the Pastor and church board. Kirksville First Assembly is a very mission minded church. We faithfully support over 20 missionaries and ministries.
Beyond Borders Outreach communicates and demonstrates the outreach needs in our community. By partnering with local agencies, businesses and other churches, our goal is to not only to meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of our community, but to also meet the spiritual needs. Our passion is to be Christ by our deeds and our love for others. Check out our Outreach page.
