Missions

A few things you might like to know

Why do we send Missionaries?
We believe in the good news that Jesus died to take away our shame and guilt from sin and has provided, by His grace, the hope we cling to in this truth. Therefore, we purpose to share this message to all who will hear it until Christ returns. It is with love that we send people wherever God calls them to go to share this good news.

Who gets to be a Hillcrest Missionary?
They are people and organizations who have been vetted by a group of 8 volunteers from Hillcrest called the “Mission Core”. We support Missionaries who have established a personal relationship with us and have also been vetted by mission organizations we trust.

How many Hillcrest Missionaries and Organizations are there?
We currently support 139 overall missionaries with money, prayers and words of encouragement!

How are these people supported?
The Faith Promise Fund is the congregational collective money we use to financially support all of them. Faith Promise giving is over and above our regular tithes and offerings given to the general church budget. Link to a video explaining this in more detail.

What if I want to give support to a certain Missionary?
If you choose to designate your Missions giving to a certain individual Missionary we strongly suggest that you contact them directly and find the easiest and least expensive way to send them support. They’ll be happy to help you with that. See their contact information under their profile.

Who can I talk to if I have other questions?
If you have any questions please contact our Missions Pastor, Kathy Hill at Kathy.H@HCBellingham.com or 360-733-8400 x221
