Global
Mission Fest 2026
Life on Mission
Living Sent | Loving Boldly
Join us for one of the most exciting weekends of the year–Mission Fest! From April 23–26, Christ Church will host more than 30 of our global mission partners from around the world, all gathered in one place to celebrate what God is doing through our ministries.
This is a unique opportunity to hear powerful stories firsthand, build meaningful connections and discover how God is moving in places near and far. Throughout the weekend, you’ll have the chance to engage with our partners through special gatherings, interactive experiences and worship services designed to inspire and challenge you.
Whether you’re passionate about global missions or just beginning to explore what it means to live on mission, Mission Fest is for you. Come ready to be encouraged, stretched and reminded that we are all called to be part of God’s work in the world.
Let’s come together as a church family to celebrate, learn and ask how God might be calling each of us to take our next step in His mission.
Host families provide guest spaces for three nights as well as help with transportation throughout the weekend. This is a great opportunity to get to know a partner and help them feel at home for the weekend.
