S06E05: Ministry or Missions | What's the Difference?

What is biblical missions—and how is it different from simply doing good? Pastor Tyler is joined by Communications Director Kim Warden and Missions Committee Chair Kortni Lasater to discuss how ministry and missions work together. They explain why genuine missions must include the gospel, how missional living takes place in everyday relationships, and why serving others should point beyond humanitarian help to reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. The conversation also explores Fairview’s local, domestic, and international partnerships; the proper role of short-term mission trips; and the importance of strengthening local churches and long-term missionaries. Missions is not merely an event, trip, or financial contribution. It is the church gathering to be equipped, going where God sends, serving with purpose, and living each day for the advance of the gospel.
