Global + Local ministry
We are Blessed to be a blessing
We have been given the gift and responsibility of loving and serving the people around us in ways that reflect the heart of God for all people. We are called to see and steward every situation and context we are in through the lens of the Gospel.
Being outward-focused is at the core of who we are as a church and it comes out of being gospel- centered. Out of the privilege we receive being born into new life in Jesus, we are also commissioned, sent out with the responsibility to be the hands and feet of Jesus. When the gospel is our center, we are compelled to live for God’s glory and for the good of others.
Our Global + Local Ministry is committed to propelling our church forward in our efforts to live this call out.

Ironwood’s Global + Local partners
As the Body of Jesus Christ is called to represent Him to the world, we are called to reach our local community, our region, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Through His example and according to His commands, we do this by loving and caring for the whole person.
We act this out by forming Local (here), Regional (near), and Global (far) partnerships.
