Transforming Lives with the Life-Changing Message of Jesus Christ

Missions

We at Pine Knolls understand that the community of Christ goes beyond our building. Together, we can stretch our arms around all sorts of needy people in all sorts of places.

As part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Pine Knolls is a member of a team that is taking the life-changing message of Jesus Christ across our nation and into nearly 60 countries

The Pine Knolls/Dominican Republic Partnership

Pine Knolls is developing a missions partnership with the Dominican Republic for the purpose of engaging individuals from Pine Knolls Alliance in doing the work of missions together with C&MA missionaries in that country. The partnership provides greater opportunities for ownership, increased involvement, and deeper relationships.

Already six work teams from Pine Knolls have traveled to the Dominican Republic over the past eight years. During these one week trips people from Pine Knolls work side-by-side with C&MA missionaries and national church leaders from that country on construction projects and church ministries such as Vacation Bible School.

Gifts to the PKA Missions Fund support missionaries and missions related endeavors primarily with the Christian and Missionary Alliance as well as other organizations.
