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.

2025 MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS & PROJECTS
Arab World Media
Arab World Media, a ministry of Pioneers, has a vision to see mature, multiplying churches among all Muslim peoples of the Arab world. CBC partners with them in the effort to engage unreached peoples of the Arab world through media to facilitate church planting as the Holy Spirit enables.
CBC partners with Asian Christian Academy (ACA) in its mission to provide theological training and Christian education in the Indian context. ACA also provides ministry and social services to the villages surrounding its campus, offering a home for destitute children, an accredited Christian school for students in grades K–10, and a low or no-cost clinic for area residents.
CBC is partnering with the Via (formerly Center for Mission Mobilization) in east Asia to equip pastors and mobilize believers and churches to bring the gospel to unreached people groups throughout Asia.
CBC is partnering with World Link Ministries which is an evangelistic force which works to train and deploy Christian leaders who are planting churches and saturating their regions with the Gospel.
CBC is partnering with a new church plant in Cochin, India that is seeking to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to this city of 2 million on India’s southwestern coast.
LIFE Romania
CBC partners with LIFE Romania as they seek to reach the next generation for Christ and equip them to impact the local Church as disciples who make disciples.
CBC is partnering with Media to Movements which is a media strategy that uses contextualized content to identify spiritual seekers online and connect them with disciple makers who help them discover, obey and share all that Jesus taught in reproducing communities of faith.
Central Bible Church partners with MSOC in Burundi to bring pastoral training and leadership development to churches in that African nation. Our partnership involves the support of MSOC staff and the sending of pastoral training teams. MSOC’s mission is “equipping world changers to be holistically transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to confront challenges of the modern changing world in all aspects of life.”
Seed Company
CBC partners with Seed Company to fully support accelerated Bible translation projects for three language groups in Ethiopia as well as a language group in Asia.
This team will partner with YWAM to build a home for a family in need in Mexico. This trip is an opportunity to serve tangibly while bringing hope through both action and faith. The family will not only receive a home, but will also hear the Gospel presented and displayed throughout the build. Pray for good weather, safety throughout the building process, and that the end result would be life-changing for the family as their physical needs are met and they experience God’s love in a real way.
This December, a small team from our church will travel to Germany to host a retreat for missionaries in secure access regions of North Africa who will meet us there. These missionaries are faithfully serving in parts of the world where the Gospel is not openly received. This gathering is a rare and vital opportunity to provide rest, care, and encouragement to those on the frontlines of ministry in hard-to-reach places.
While this trip is not open for sign-ups, you can still play a key role by giving financially to help cover the team’s travel and ministry expenses.
Our mission trip to Brazil has been rescheduled—and there's still a chance to be part of this life-changing experience! Join us from January 30 to February 6 as we travel to the heart of the Amazon to share the Gospel and serve through impactful projects at the Bible Center. The cost is $2,500, must be 18 or older, and it promises to be an unforgettable journey of faith, service, and connection with others.

1) Bible Translation
2) Disciplemaking Among the Unreached
3) Leadership Development

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.
