MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
Missions has long been our passion here at Waterloo Road Baptist Church. We’re glad you’re interested in joining God where He is working!
We believe that Christians should serve missionally in our community, throughout our state, across our nation, and around the world. We affirm that all believers are missionaries – both together as the Church and individually. We encourage every Christ-follower to be on mission in your own neighborhood and as you participate in activities in which you’re involved.
Interested in going on mission? Here are some trips we have planned. Contact Us for more information on joining us as we go!
