MISSIONS WEEK

September 27 - October 4, 2026

September 27 - October 4, 2026

Missions Week is held yearly and is a celebration of all that God has done and is doing through the mission ministries of Bent Tree. Through our Missions Ministry, we support around 50 missionaries around the world, over 30 local partners, and over 35 global partners. During Missions Week, we are blessed to have many of our missionaries and project partners, both locally and around the world, join us for a week of activities and events. It is an amazing opportunity for Bent Tree to meet the people serving in the missions field, hear their stories, learn about their ministries, and celebrate what God is doing through them.

Kickoff Sunday (9/27)

We will celebrate and highlight the 25th anniversary of our ADP/Door of Hope partnership in India during our 9:00 & 11:00 am services. We will have our global and missionary partners with us in the lobby. We would love for you to meet them!

Finale Sunday (10/4)

We’ll close out Missions Week by highlighting our local mission partners and celebrating the ways God is working right here in our community. We’ll also make a special announcement about our partnership with Our Calling. As Missions Week comes to a close, we’ll consider an important question: What is your next step in missions? We will have our local missions partners in the lobby. We would love for you to meet them.
