Central Bible Church has a rich history of sending gospel-centered workers around the world. To learn more about our partners contact Central Missions.
We live in a global community in which believers have access to nations and peoples that were formerly unengaged with the Gospel. Global travel no longer requires weeks or months on the seas. In fact, there are now direct flights from DFW to Dubai. In the midst of these unprecedented opportunities, we joyfully respond to the call to "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation" (Mark 16:15).
Short-Term
Short-term mission teams are groups of people who travel to another location (domestically or internationally) for a week or two with the purpose of making God known to a particular community. Often, these teams are linked to CBC Global Partners serving around the world. These trips are not haphazard, nor are they glorified vacations. Rather, CBC short-term mission teams carry out intentional activities (such as evangelism, orphan care, construction, missionary support, medical care, etc.) that bring hope to dark places.
Long-term goers may be sent out by Central Bible Church to make God known for extended periods of time. CBC has a history of sending long-term workers, with 8 Global Partners currently all working worldwide to share the good news of the Gospel. If you feel the Lord calling you to full-time ministry through missions, we would love to help you do that.

How Short-Term Missions Have Long-Term Impact
Jesus has commissioned all believers to go and make disciples of all nations. One of the best ways we can help long-term missionaries and other partners in the field is by sending short-term mission teams.
Our children need to see us exercise faith in God. Regardless of what He calls us to do or where He calls us to serve—even if it's a little scary, we can include our children and we can rest assured that He is our secure Fortress.
Short-term missions is a way to personally engage in the Great Commission and be a part of your church’s mission strategy. Funding one’s mission is often the greatest obstacle. Support-raising is a biblical and practical means of inviting others to join you in this special calling.
