International Mission Study
“Where do we get started with missions?” That’s the question we hear from many churches.
That is why we partner with IMB to create our International Mission Study (IMS) that can be used as a one-time missions event at your church or as a mission study for any age of small group.
Every year we work with IMB to choose a topic or location on which to focus for the IMS.
The IMS can be used any time of year or as a part of your church’s focus during the SBC Week of Prayer and Mission Study for International Missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering every December.
