CNH MISSIONS

Helping God’s people advance the Kingdom throughout the region by equipping, networking, and resourcing.

CNH Missions advances the Gospel by establishing new churches and outreach efforts in underserved regions. Supporting missions and mission plants allows us to partner in God’s work, sharing resources to expand His Kingdom, transform lives, and bring the message of Christ to those who have not yet heard it. Please continue to keep CNH District Missions in your prayers.

Funding

​

The CNH Mission Agency reviews applications twice per year—in May and October. Funds are distributed across a 12-month period, and we ask grantees to share simple updates and stories throughout the year.

 

SPARK = $1500 » BUILD = $15,000 » SUSTAIN = $45,000

​

If you’re wondering where your ministry fits—or if you need help dreaming big—we’d love to come alongside you. We’re here to help you discern, design, and take the next step.

 

In the CNH District, we believe that God is already at work in your neighborhood—and that He invites us to join Him in that mission. Whether you’re planting seeds for a new idea, building momentum in an existing outreach, or moving toward long-term sustainability, we’re here to support you. Let’s move forward together—lighting the way, building strong, and bearing fruit in Jesus’ name.

How to Get Involved

CNH District Mission/Prayer Coordinator

 

Are you interested in being a prayer coordinator? Here is what a coordinator does:

 

  • Represent their congregation and the CNH District in their mission efforts

  • Develop a list of contact people in each church in their circuit who can help to publicize mission information.

  • Promote publications: In Mission, CNH Mission Prayer Newsletter, videos, etc. / sharing of prayer requests for congregational prayer in worship and/or with the congregation’s prayer chain.

  • Personally pray for and speak well of their church, District, and the interests, personnel, and ministries of the Mission Agency.

  • Participate in quarterly mission update, prayer, and phone meetings.

​

CNH District Mission Advocate

 

Mission Advocates are trained and equipped for the territory they are assigned. The advocates share the mission story of the CNH District, and they help people to see that they, too, can help spread the good news of the Gospel through their gifts. They are people devoted to prayer who are gifted as encouragers in Christ’s church.
