It is important to realize that missions is not just for a select few Christians, nor is it just something that happens when you get on an airplane and fly to a remote location far away.  God intends that all of us should be witnesses for Christ, whether at home or overseas.  We believe God's calling is of the whole church, and in part, that means God has a role in the Great Commission He wants every Christian to fill.

God's calling is to the whole world, and that includes ministering in the Treasure Valley, as well as “to the ends of the earth”.  Toward that end, we encourage everyone in the Cole body to pray about involvement in local outreach, whether it be serving as an individual witness in the neighborhood, school or workplace, or as a volunteer in an organized local ministry.  Click on Local Outreach Opportunities for a list of organizations that often need volunteers.
