The elders want every member to be involved in the mission work of the church at Dalraida. The great commission was not just for those willing to go overseas or on a mission trip...it was meant for ALL CHRISTIANS! You need to look and figure out how you can get involved in spreading the Word of God in our community and around the world.
If you have specific interests in a mission work, get with the deacon or leader over that work. Let them know you are ready and willing to serve with them!
Get Missions Updates
Our website allows members (and others) to sign up and receive updates on the mission works that we support. Most missionaries send regular reports to us about their works. The reports will be posted online but if you sign up, you can receive an email when a new report is posted. This is a great way to keep informed and involved on our works!
Go On A Trip
A mission trip can be a life-changing experience! Going on a trip will likely push you beyond your comfort zone and force you to study and work harder on your own Christian faith. Dalraida usually takes several different mission trips throughout the year to check up on different works or be involved in a full campaign teaching the Gospel.
Evangelism Class
We all need to work harder to learn how to teach others. Part of our missions program is to integrate various classes to help people become confident in their own faith and abilities so they can use them to teach others about God and His Church. You do not have to be planning for a mission trip to attend a class...in fact we all need to prepare and be ready to reach out to our neighbors, family and friends everyday. Our evangelism classes can help you prepare for this important mission.
Encourage Missionaries
Even if you cannot go on a trip, you can send encouragement to our missionaries. Almost every missionary has access to email and would love to receive an email of encouragement. You could also send them a care package or note in the mail as well.
Contact Leaders
If you are interested in one of our works, please contact the leader and see how you can get more involved in that mission work. Each of our supported works (monthly and sponsored) are assigned a person as contact for the work, and that person can get you plugged into the work and make sure you help!
Missions Emphasis Day
Dalraida has emphasized missions during the month of May each year. Some years we have one "Great Commission Sunday" and in 2019 we set aside the entire month to consider our role and duty to spread the Gospel message. This is a time where the entire congregation thinks about how we can do more and there are special lessons, presentations, and contributions for mission works.
Request Support
If you are interested in asking Dalraida to support you or a specific mission work, we would be happy to consider your request. You can review our general guidelines and submit your request online.
