Missions
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19.
At Bettendorf Christian Church, we have a very strong commitment to spreading God's Word... sponsoring, initiating, and encouraging local, domestic, and international Missions is one of the many ways we help spread God's Word to all nations.
Currently we are collecting shoes for Haiti and eyeglasses for North Burma Christian Mission.
