Missional Experiences
and the Discipleship PathwayMissional experiences are part of the growth and testimony of a follower of Jesus. When we serve, we activate our time, abilities, and resources for a life of purpose. Every act of service is an expression of God’s love and an opportunity to meet needs, alleviate pain and bring hope in Jesus' name.

They demonstrate the love of Jesus by meeting the needs of individuals in a specific way tailored to this group of people or cause.
