AS OUR COVENANT VALUE
What Missions Means to Us
At our church, missions is is a core expression of our faith. We believe God calls His people to share His love through service, compassion, and the message of the Gospel. Whether serving in our local community or partnering with ministries around the world, we seek to reflect Christ through acts of kindness, generosity, and outreach.
Through missions, we strive to meet practical needs, build meaningful relationships, and make a lasting impact for God’s Kingdom.

MISSIONS
Our City is Our Mission
In the heart of one of Miami’s most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, we believe God has placed us here for a purpose. Surrounded by people from different countries, cultures, generations, and walks of life, our mission begins right outside our doors.
Brickell is more than where our church is located—it is the community we are called to love and serve. Through worship, hospitality, service, and meaningful relationships, we seek to be a place where our neighbors can experience the love of Christ and find belonging.
Our doors open to the city, because our city is our mission.
STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES
Church Outreach
We believe lasting impact happens when churches and organizations work together. We support ministries and programs that serve individuals, families, and communities throughout our region and beyond.
