Student Ministry
Missions

General

Jesus calls us to GO. We see this best in Matthew 28:19 where Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

When we experience life change, it is then time for us to go and serve others beyond our walls in missions. 419 Student Ministry exists to provide students with mission opportunities on the local, national and international levels so that every student can be involved in missions and spread the love of Christ to others.

For any questions related to missions, please contact Brian Bunch, brianb@lakepointe.org or 469.698.2400
