The Samaria Acts 1:8 Team of our church focuses on the ministry relationships and partnerships that we as a church have and are developing throughout the United States and Canada. It is fitting to note that much of our present Global Missions emphasis grew from a relationship begun in 2001 with a fledgling church plant in samaria-pic2-webCanada. Today that church, The Potter's House in Westbank, British Columbia, is a Strategic Ministry Partner, and our relationship with our partners there has impacted and influenced our church's focus to move beyond ourselves and the walls of our church to create The Bridge Community Center and launch other mission trips and projects. As we have begun to investigate where God would have us engage in our Samaria, we are seeking to develop partnerships that while focused, are still varied and representative of the diverse nation in which we live. Please investigate the following ministries and links and pray about the opportunities to serve on one of our Samaria team trips.

New York
The size and diversity of New York make it a strategic part of any Acts 1:8 strategy since many of the people groups we minister to in other countries have sizable populations living in communities throughout the city’s neighborhoods.  Previously, we have sent a youth mission team and individuals from our church to serve there. Currently, we are investigating two possibilities as we establish relationships with those who are already ministering to a variety of people groups. As these possibilities are pursued we will announce trips to support work being carried out in New York City.  Pray with us as we seek how we might join God in this great but spiritually dark city.
