Global Missions
Short-Term Missions   |   Mission Blogs
Outreach to our global community is emphasized and supported at Rainier View Christian Church in three primary types of activity:
  1. Long term partnerships with people and organizations  whose goals are to plant and support the development of churches among unreached or under reached groups of people. Our Missions Leadership Team oversees this ministry at RVCC.
  2. Short term trips for our members to participate in missions work primarily in coordination with our long term partners. Learn more about these opportunities.
  3. Special projects - This primarily includes our month-long focus on missions each July, during which we work with one of our missions partners to highlight and raise funds for a project that is changing lives, such as Hope Partnership in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa.
