Willamette Christian Church is a caring community that loves God, loves people and serves the world.  We demonstrate this love by providing financial, logistical and spiritual support to missionaries around the world.  We view missions as an essential ministry of our church and our individual members. We are committed to the mobilization of our own resources (prayer, monetary, and human) for the objective of reaching all peoples of the world for Christ.  WCC supports both long-term missionaries in other countries, as well as those who wish to make a difference in the lives of the less-fortunate on a short-term basis.  Please click here to request missionary support from WCC.

We want to hear your feedback on mission opportunities at Willamette Christian Church.  Please complete a mission survey to tell us your thoughts.
