As new creations in Christ, we have been given eternal salvation. We have experiences, stories, and gifts that are to be used to serve the body and build the kingdom of God. We call the living out of these gifts and experiences 'living on mission.' We live on mission both locally and globally. Learn more about our 2024 mission partners and how you can be a part of living on mission globally with The District Church below.

Missions Club

  • Mission Clubs is an International Boys and Girls Club program that serves students ages 6-18 in an after school environment. The club provides structured programming including Homework Help, English classes Art, Music, STEM, Sports, Bible Study and Youth Development Specialists to help with goal setting. In addition to traditional Boys and Girls Club programming, we also provide a hot meal and transportation to and from the students school and homes. Wrap around services are also provided to the families of our students through partners like Manos de Fe Panama.

  • This year, District Students will be traveling to host a summer camp and serve the families of the Panama Missions Club. As students have the opportunity to join in on this mission, our church also has the opportunity to serve by financially supporting our students, as well as sponsoring children from the Panama Missions Club.

The Greatest Exchange

  • The Greatest Exchange is a one-of-a-kind cross-cultural experience. We bring college-age students from Central Asia to Jacksonville, Florida each summer to participate in our unique cultural exchange program.

    Each year, The Greatest Exchange representatives meet hundreds of college students in Almaty, Kazakhstan. After countless interviews, the participants then anxiously prepare to have the opportunity of a lifetime- to spend ten weeks of their summer working as a camp counselor in Jacksonville, Nocatee or Ponte Vedra camps. While working, the participants live with a host family, where they experience True Hope, Love, and Joy.

  • Our church has the great opportunity to serve through opening our homes as a “host family”, along with providing transportation, meals and financial support. To learn more or to partner with “The Greatest Exchange” email Info@greatestexchange.org

  • Our mission is to build and serve:

    Build

    We are builders. That’s who we are. We build homes for families that need to be reminded that Jesus loves them. We build relationships between volunteers, families, and pastors that would otherwise never have met. We strive to build the Kingdom of God by partnering with other local churches and ministries. We strive to build opportunities for growth by creating structured experiences that cause our volunteers to be stretched beyond their comfort zones.

    Serve

    Through this building process, God allows us to interact with our teams, local families, pastors, churches, vendors, and fellow missionaries. We do not want to take any of these interactions for granted. We believe that these are unique opportunities presented to us by God to serve each other.

  • This year, we will be sending a team to the Dominican Republic to build a home for a family in need. As a church, we have the opportunity to serve by joining in on this trip or by partnering financially to support our team of District volunteers.

Gods Desire Ministries

  • God’s Desire Ministries works to bring lost souls to God and help to the poor. With your help, we come alongside indigenous ministries and assist them in fulfilling the vision God has given them.

    God’s Desire Ministries ministers through evangelism, church planting, discipleship, leadership training, publishing Bible curriculum and teaching materials. In addition to children’s ministries and a widows ministry, GDM is also involved in compassion ministries such as disaster relief, community health care and development, and counseling.

  • Pastor Pandu Geesala lives in the village of Tuni, India. In the winter of 2020, while training pastors in India, Pastor Boyd and Pastor Joshua met Pandu, working as their translator. Throughout the years that followed, they built a relationship and began supporting pastors and building churches through Pastor Pandu and the work of his ministry. Today, GDM partners with “The Timothy Initiative” and TDC to provide resources and biblical training. Through the generosity of TDC, 20 pastors and their families are financially supported each month as they labor to spread the gospel in India.
