OUR MISSION PARTNERS
At Church@thepeak, our vision is to see everyone in Peakhurst and beyond transformed by the good news of Jesus. One of the ways we do this is to support our mission partners in the spread of gospel - both locally and overseas. We support some of our mission partners financially, but we support all of them relationally and in prayer. We regularly pray for our mission partners in church and in growth groups.
