The term “mission church” has long been used to describe those churches dedicated to sending qualified missionaries to either domestic or international locations to evangelize. Many also provide support and assistance to people in need, offering help in the form of education, medical care, construction, infrastructure building and more.
But while many churches may refer to themselves as mission churches, the Missionary Church holds the term as their formal title. The Missionary Church is an evangelical Protestant denomination (although they refer to themselves as a “family of churches”) with deep roots in the Anabaptist, German Pietism, and American evangelicalism faiths. They are a member of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE).
