Missions

At Church of the Outer Banks, our mission statement is:

LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS AND LIVE ON MISSION

JOIN US AS WE LIVE ON MISSION

Church of the Outer Banks stands on the authority of scripture and believes it’s our vision to love God, love others, and live on mission. Our church is involved in missions by supporting the local community, as well as national and international missions.

We give 10% of our church tithe to the national and local mission programs listed below (and others). It is important to us that you know as a church what missions we support, and that you know of other opportunities that are offered by these organizations for you to volunteer as well.

Thanks for being on mission with us!

“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”

Matthew 25:35-40
