Missionaries

God’s Word is clear that it is local churches that send missionaries to advance the gospel to the ends of the earth. This is a both an incredible privilege and a weighty calling, and in Sovereign Grace, we are eager to continue to see more and more missionaries sent from our local churches to aid in the global progress of the gospel. That God may be glorified among every tribe, language, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9-12).

Who is a missionary?

In Sovereign Grace, a missionary refers to a person sent by the local church, across cultural, national or linguistic barriers, towards the building of the local church.

Who does Sovereign Grace encourage to consider becoming a missionary?

We believe that God calls the local church to send pastors and members as missionaries. Thus, you should first seek guidance from your local church in determining if you are called to go as a missionary.

How are missionaries and church plants related?

We believe God’s normal means of accomplishing his global mission is through church planting. Thus, wherever possible, we seek to send missionaries in teams of pastors and team members with the aim of planting churches in cross-cultural locations.

Does Sovereign Grace Churches send out missionaries as a denomination?
