We are committed to serving God at home and around the world, through local outreaches, through missionaries and missions organizations. This is made possible by people who faithfully give to missions and who earnestly seek opportunities to fulfill the great commission God has given each of us to share the good news of Jesus Christ to everyone.
We are not only committed to giving but to going! Every year teams of called believers go out to parts of the world to assist missions endeavors through building, medical and evangelistic outreaches. If you have questions about our Missions Ministry events, please contact our Missions Committee Chair, John Crabtree by calling the church office at 559-686-0004 or by emailing us at missions@tularefbc.org
