Missions

Living On Mission Starts Here

Mission isn't just about traveling to distant places—it's about recognizing that God has strategically positioned you exactly where you are to make a difference. Whether you're serving your neighbors across the street or partnering with communities across the globe, every act of service has the power to transform lives and reflect Christ's love. At Burnt Hickory, we're committed to equipping and sending people to live on mission in their everyday lives, while also creating opportunities to serve together locally and internationally.

I went to serve others, but God used the trip to transform my own heart. The joy and faith I witnessed reminded me what really matters in life.
