Local Missions
Our first responsibility is to our communities in Alabama and Georgia, especially in the cities where we partner with correctional facilities. Through Local Missions we support the Highlands Dream Centers and partner with local ministries to reach those around us.
International Missions
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus and to have a Bible in their native language. Through International Missions we help plant new churches worldwide and partner with organizations that are translating the Bible into new languages.
