GLOBAL MISSIONS

Woodland Shores provides generous prayer and financial support to missionary partners who serve on the frontlines of evangelism locally, regionally, and globally.  In addition, we frequently send students and adults on short-term missionary projects lasting from several days to several weeks. 

Our Global Missions Committee oversees this ministry and provides missionary updates to the church family.  Our goal is to “reach as many as possible” with the gospel (1 Corinthians 9.19-23).

Our missionary partners are:

  • Mike and Pam Chupp (Tennessee - Christian Medical and Dental Association)

  • Paul and Melissa Ewing (Japan - North American Baptist Conference)

  • Great Lakes Association of North American Baptist Conference of Churches (Rev. Terry Holley)

  • E & R Griffiths (Florida - Youth with a Mission)

  • KT Nevil (France - Youth With a Mission)

  • Chuck and Dianne Roeper (Michigan - Filter of Hope)

  • John Schindler (US/Africa - John Schindler Ministries)

  • Holly Tapley (Nepal - Messengers)

  • Brian & Melissa (Navigators)

  • Terry & Robbie (Israel)

  • Tyler & Brittany - (West Africa)

To serve and encourage our partners in sensitive global areas, we do not identify several families or their locations.
