Missions

Before the Lord Jesus ascended to heaven, He left a very important task to His disciples to do - to go and make disciples of all nations so that worship for God from every people, tribe, and tongue can exist. 

Here at Sunset, we believe that it is the local church that God has chosen to make His glory known among all peoples. It is our vision to see local churches from all people groups equipped and mobilized to make disciples among their own people and beyond. 

Sunset Missions exists to mobilize every member of Sunset to faithfully take part in making God’s Name known to all peoples, whether in the city or in the world, so worship of Him from every nation, tribe, and tongue can exist. 

We believe that each person is called by God to take part in what He is doing in the world. Find out ways on how you can be involved.
