Missions, Evangelism & Outreach Committee
We’re so pleased that you’ve taken a moment to invest in what God is doing at OGC, the Community of Evansville and in the lives of those overseas on the foreign mission field.

WHO are we?
“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” Romans 12:4-5 (crf: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
As members of the body of Christ we all serve different roles and bring to the body our own special gifts. This is true of all those presently serving on the Missions Committee. Each of us brings to it a special dynamic of where God currently has us in life; whether it is mom, teacher, retiree, businessperson, or student. Our role involves partnering with Christ in His work both in the U.S. and overseas; though prayer, financial support, and direct communication with our missionaries we are actively pursuing being God’s hands and feet to the whole world.
WHAT do we do?
Mission Statement: We will partner with God to draw unbelievers into a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ, locally and internationally.
Some of the projects the Missions Committee is responsible for are:
- Establish missionary partners and faithfully walk alongside them in prayer.
- Support OGC’s mission partners financially and prayerfully.
- Reaching out to the community via “Welcome Bags” to new residents.
- Raise awareness of OGC within the community through marketing, such as newspaper ads, billboards, parade floats, etc.
- Develop creative ways to connect with those in Evansville who many not be a member of a local congregation.
- Support and empower members of our congregation to reach people for Christ.
