We are grateful for the opportunity to support missions at Christ Family Church. Currently, we partner with at least fifteen ministries and mission organizations, providing monthly financial support. These ministries serve a diverse range of people both in the United States and around the world. Ten percent of all non-designated income received by Christ Family Church is immediately set aside for missions. However, by the end of the year, we often find that closer to 15-20% of the church’s total income has been sent out to support mission work.
