Global Missions

At Coastal, we are passionately helping people find and follow Jesus—not just locally, but across the world! Jesus calls us to make disciples of all nations, and we live that out through our mission: Know God, Grow in Your Faith, Serve Others, and Make Disciples.

Through global missions partnerships, we support missionaries who are planting churches, meeting needs, and sharing the hope of Christ in places that need the Gospel. When you pray, give, or go, you are part of something bigger—helping change lives for eternity.

Be part of the mission! Whether through prayer, financial support, or serving on a mission trip, you can help take the gospel of Jesus to the ends of the earth!
