Serving and Engaging Neighbors Together

Our vision is to glorify God by sending ambassadors into our neighboring communities to proclaim the gospel in word and deed, so that more people would come to know, love, and worship Christ.

Our mission is to ignite, disciple, and equip Golden Hills men and women to cultivate meaningful and lasting relationships with the unreached and underserved people in our neighboring communities, including partnering with existing organizations, to assist in alleviating poverty and attenuating injustice.
