church missions
Congregational service projects
Church missions are organized efforts by religious congregations to spread their faith or provide humanitarian aid, typically in distant or underserved communities.
The term covers both evangelistic work—sending missionaries to convert others—and charitable projects like building schools or providing medical care.
The church missions in Central America focused on clean water access.
A church's missions program often involves fundraising, short-term volunteer trips, and support for long-term missionaries abroad.
