Missions
FishHawk Fellowship Church is committed to showing the Gospel through compassion so that we can intentionally share the Gospel.
Jesus gave all His followers a clear mandate and responsibility after the resurrection. It’s the Great Commission! Jesus commands us in Matthew 28:19-20 saying, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The mission is to become the hands and feet of Christ all over the world. Starting in the hometown next year, there will be some great opportunities, small and large, to be a part of the Great Commission to the nations.
Would you prayerfully consider where you can serve and “GO”? Be a part of making a difference for the Kingdom of God as Pastor Daniel leads the way!

If you have a passion for helping children to thrive, this is a great local outreach opportunity right here in our local community.
