Every year, we sponsor a number of short-term missions in which many members of our congregation engage. In addition to GCC-sponsored trips, our members are involved in a variety of missions efforts, both near and far.
The Missions Committee offers a tiered system specifically for youth as they progress through missions opportunities at GCC:
Tier 1 - Local Church ministry with a training requirement.
Tier 2 - U.S.-based overnight trip, serving outside the St. Louis area but not outside the continental U.S.
Tier 3 - Foreign Missions - anything outside of the U.S.

2021 Short-Term Missions Trip
CASAS POR CRISTO
Acuna, Mexico | Dustin Bailey, Coordinator
We have built a fantastic team to demonstrate Christ's free gift of salvation to a Mexican family by providing them with a free house! Working with the local churches in Acuna, Mexico, Casas por Cristo identifies families and brings mission teams there to build a home. By doing this, we are able to share God's love and help a family get out of poverty and into a safe and comfortable home.
The trip leaves early morning on December 26th, and returns late afternoon/early evening on December 31. For more information about Casas por Cristo, and the Acuna mission trip, CLICK HERE.
Following is a list of specific prayer requests for this trip and the team. Your prayers for us are greatly appreciated!
