Mission Teams

Prayer Team
Letters and e-mails received each week from any of our missionaries are distilled into specific requests for Prayer and Praise. These requests are prayed for specifically by the Tuesday morning Missions Prayer group which meets from 9:30 to 11 AM, and Prayer and Praise is emailed to others in the church who desire to pray for missions. To be added to a weekly Prayer & Praise or join the Prayer Team, contact  .

Short-Term Mission Experiences
The role of the team is to provide spiritual leadership and oversight for the short-term mission activities of Hillcrest. The team discerns where and how God is calling the church to serve through short-term team ministry – which can be in Kansas City, the U.S., or around the globe. The team is responsible for supporting the ministry teams Hillcrest sends on mission by organizing trips, developing ministry leaders, training teams, and providing prayer. If you’d like to know more about being involved with short-term missions, contact  .

Local Outreach
Local Outreach desires to partner our congregation with area ministries who demonstrate and proclaim the Good News of Jesus. We regularly pray for our ministry partners and seek to connect groups and individuals at Hillcrest with our various neighborhoods, communities and city. Ultimately, we seek to grow nearer to and more like Christ. Local ministry partners are organizations who serve our city in a variety of ways from helping settle refugee families to tutoring urban students, becoming a friend of an international university scholar, volunteering in prisons, and beyond. If you’d like to know more about being involved with local missions, contact  .

Local, Domestic, and International Missionary Support
This team comes alongside our ministry partners working among their own people, in their own countries, to provide prayer and support as they bring the love of Christ to their people. If you’d like to know more about being involved, contact  .

Mission Finances
The Missions Finance Team will meet periodically throughout the year to make decisions that help provide financial support for ministries and missionaries Hillcrest Covenant Church supports as ministry partners.
