MISSIONS
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
At Spring Hill we believe that praying for and giving to God’s global mission work are vital to sharing the message of HOPE. We talk about missions a lot at Spring Hill. Every month we focus on doing missions: sending groups to serve others, collecting supplies for local needs, feeding the hungry, helping children and families, spreading the love of Christ, supporting other churches and ministries and much more.
"By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another."
John 13:35
John 13:35
As a church family we encourage people to give of their time, talents and finances to go into all the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ, allowing God to work in us and through us to meet people where they are and creating opportunities to follow Jesus. We want everything we do to bring hope, share Christ and impact the world.
Through our cooperation and collaboration with other churches and organizations, we support the work of missionaries throughout the United States and around the world. In a typical year, nearly 30% of Spring Hill's total income goes to support mission causes locally, nationally and internationally.
You can support the Lamm, Munson and Smith families by praying for them, giving to our Christmas Offering or going on a short-term mission trip to work alongside them.

PACEM 2021 was a true example of how we at Spring Hill Baptist Church are living out our Core Values set forth in our 2021 ministry plan. The compassion shown through each team leader's generosity with their time and resources in organizing and preparing meals for the homeless was amazing. The collaboration between ministries within our church and with other local churches was a blessing to watch. The commitment to the PACEM ministry was as strong as ever with an abundance of volunteers serving Christ and in prayer for our brothers in Christ in the PACEM program. I am humbled and blessed to lead this ministry and look forward to our next opportunity to serve alongside each of you bringing glory to God and bringing others to Christ. Peace be with each of you and thank you for following in Christ's footsteps serving those in need. - Team Lead Justin Kinsey
