There are many opportunities to be involved in missions through Applewood Baptist Church. Our members are invited to:
Attend a World Missions Conference highlighted by missionary guests and special speakers. Information about our mission trips is also available at the Ministry Fair.
Participate in short-term overseas mission trips
Participate in specific ongoing local opportunities such as prison ministry, AWANA, church planting, benevolence ministry, bus ministry, apartment ministry, and discipleship.
Regularly support international missions financially through the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program
Give sacrificially to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions, and the Nicy Murphy Offering for State Missions, as well as hunger relief and special mission efforts.
In the past five decades, Applewood has commissioned twenty-four career missionaries into foreign missions and more than 900 Applewood volunteers have been on partnership trips overseas. Teams from Applewood have ministered in 35 countries. We have been involved in starting churches in Colorado and internationally. It has been our privilege and honor to share the Gospel and serve the Lord around the world.
Jesus said in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." (NIV) As a church we are called to do the same thing. Come join God in what God is doing! Visit the International Mission Board to find out more about opportunities for involvement in world missions.
Tom Devenish is responsible for planning and coordination of all international mission trips. He works with national leaders in other countries as well as with our International Mission Board.
