Missions at First McKinney

We want to be a church that goes.

Church missions at First McKinney begin with a desire to share the Gospel with our neighbors and the nations. Through local outreach, global missions, ministry partnerships, and mission trips throughout the year, we join God in what He is doing here and around the world. Pray. Give. Go. There is a way for everyone to be part of the mission.

Our Vision

A Church That Goes

At First McKinney, we want to be a church that goes. We partner in local, national, and international missions while also sending people to serve short-, mid-, and long-term. Jesus calls His followers to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15), and we want to faithfully respond to that call.

Our vision is to ignite a movement of multicultural people who engage their neighbors, the nations of the world, and the next generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Missions isn’t something carried by one ministry alone. It is something we can all be part of as we Pray. Give. Go.

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” — Mark 16:15

Sensing a Bigger Call?

You Don’t Need All the Answers to Start the Conversation

Maybe God is leading you toward more. If you’re considering becoming a missionary or exploring a call to vocational ministry, you don’t have to have all the answers before starting the conversation. First McKinney Pastors and Ministers would be glad to listen, pray with you, and help you discern what God may be calling you to do and what your next steps could look like.

If God is stirring something in you, we would love to talk with you. Sometimes the first step in answering a call is simply being willing to talk about it.
