Help Us Serve Our Mission Partners

James, the brother of Jesus, wrote: “What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?... Faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless” (James 2:14,17; NLT). Serving others in love is the natural result of following Jesus Christ, and we invite you to explore ways to put your faith into action. Check out our serving opportunities below.

GAP Ministries of Augusta
GAP Ministries of Augusta

GAP Ministries was founded in 1979 as a mission outreach of local Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ churches. Over the years the ministries provided by GAP have evolved as the needs of the community have changed, and we have continued to find ways to "fill the gap" between needs and services. Our base of support has also broadened, so that now we have thirteen churches and organizations from several denominations providing funding and/or volunteers.

Pioneers

Pioneers mobilizes teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church-planting movements in partnership with local churches. For more than 35 years, Pioneers' passion has been to see God glorified among those who are physically and spiritually isolated from the gospel of Jesus Christ – from Muslim bedouins in the deserts of North Africa to secular humanists in Eastern Europe and middle-class Buddhist urbanites in the sprawling cities of East Asia.
