"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Missions

As an interdenominational church, we’re blessed with the freedom to support a wide variety of meaningful charitable organizations. At Fairfield Mountains Chapel, nearly one-quarter of every dollar collected in offerings goes directly to supporting missions beyond our doors.

We strive to follow Jesus’ call in Acts 1:8:

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Jesus instructed His disciples to begin their mission locally and expand outward, sharing God’s love and grace. Our mission giving follows this model:

"Jerusalem" – Local Missions

We support local ministries that help meet basic needs for those in our own community

"Judea and Samaria" – Regional & National Missions
We partner with groups across our county, state, and country to provide food, shelter, medical care, prison ministry, and support for individuals with special needs.

"Ends of the Earth" – Global Missions

We help fund missionaries, disaster relief organizations and Bible distribution programs around the world – starting right here in Lake Lure.

Beyond the financial support we provide, some of our members volunteer their time and talents to assist with day-to-day operations.

Through giving, service, and outreach, we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus—locally and globally.

Some of the organizations we are supporting in 2025 are shown below.
