Global Impact

Our Short-Term Missions ministry exists to partner with God’s work around the world by serving alongside our International Workers and local ministries. Rooted in the vision of seeing lives transformed by the Gospel, we value prayerful dependence, cultural humility and practical service. Upcoming 2026 opportunities include reconnecting with workers in Central Asia, supporting relational and aid partnerships in North Africa, joining GAiN in Paraguay for family-friendly projects in water and food security and assisting with literacy, youth outreach and discipleship in Cameroon. Each trip is an opportunity to embody Christ’s love, strengthen the global church and grow as disciples through service.

Applications for our upcoming 2026 Short-Term Missions Trips will be opening fall/winter 2025.

Short-Term Missions Opportunities

Alliance work teams serve around the world, combining faith with practical service; showing the love of Jesus not only through their prayer and spiritual impact but also through hard work and productive effort.

At Foothills we recognize the importance of Short-Term Missions (STM) opportunities that facilitate personal connection with our workers in the field and provide valuable opportunities to:

Serve our International Workers and their churches overseas.
Receive a life-changing experience in a cross-cultural setting.
Testify to these experiences and expand the awareness of missions within our church.
Encourage and inspire our emerging generations to pursue a career as an International Worker.
