Mission is one of our core values. We believe that God created men in his image (Imago Dei) and as image bearers each follower of Jesus Christ should find his unique role in the mission of God (Missio Dei).  We believe that as we grow in Christ-Likeness every human being, irrespective of his past, can experience the glorious purpose for which he was created.

Some of the ways that we live that out as a church family include:
* Supporting individual missionaries
* Short-Term Mission Trips
* Supporting our local association of churches - the Alberta Baptist Association
* Supporting the Conference of churches we belong to - the North American Baptist Conference
* Supporting our Conference Seminary - Taylor Seminary

Short-term mission trips have been a high priority for us at LFC!  Joining God in what He is doing in various parts of the world and experiencing missions first-hand in a cultural context has been a huge blessing.

We have served with youth and adults alike in Brazil, Mexico, Kenya and Ethiopia.  These trips change lives.  Both the lives of the people we are sent to serve, and even more so the lives of the people serving.

The next opportunity to serve together in this way will be August 2027! We will be sending a team to Ensenada, Mexico to engage with what Christ is already doing there. Pray for what God is already preparing for this mission trip. If this is of interest, reach out to Pastor Scott or Pastor Garrett for more information.
