"Church of the Saviour will advance the gospel in word and action among the nations by investing our human, spiritual and financial resources to make disciples of Jesus, resulting in vibrant, gospel-driven churches and transformed communities."

From the beginning, reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ has been integral to the life of Church of the Saviour. Begun as a church plant, the church's early growth came from outreach to neighbors and friends. In 1973, the vision of reaching people broadened, as Church of the Saviour supported its first missionary couple. By the end of the following year, COS had held its first missions conference and supported 12 missionaries, with a budget of $2,500.

Today we support well over 60 missionaries and organizations working in over 27 countries, with a budget that approaches $900,000, separate from the church operating budget. COS launched the first COSMOS (Church of the Saviour Mission Outreach) in 1980, its week-long missions conference.

By the mid-80s, we introduced our youth to missions via short-term mission trips. In 1987, 50 young people indicated an interest in pursuing missions as a possible career.

Our Focus

In more recent times, we have focused much of our international emphasis on reaching people who reside in the "10/40 Window" i.e., an area extending from West Africa to East Asia, 10 to 40 degrees north of the equator, where most of the Unreached People Clusters are located.

Many of the men and women we are supporting on the mission field are members of Church of the Saviour. It is not surprising that the Lord has used short-term mission trips to stimulate an interest in serving him in this way. We have sent individuals and families from all walks of life including doctors, professors and other professionals.

In addition to our international missionaries, we support a number of U.S.-based missionaries and organizations that bring their unique talents and abilities to spreading the gospel.
