The Purpose of Missions & Short-Term Trips

There’s more to missions and short-term trips than simply getting on a plane and traveling to another country. Join Pastors Joel and Lane as they explore the biblical purpose of missions, the value of short-term trips, and how Rainbow Forest seeks to make disciples both locally and globally. In this episode, they share our church’s philosophy of missions, the goals that shape every trip, and why sending and going are both vital parts of the Great Commission. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.rainbowforest.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yIMDuiNoblL0yhbFgDeO4QtJhTiT_2X]

Putting Down Roots Through Church Membership

What if church membership is about more than having your name on a list? In this episode of Between Sundays, the conversation explores how church membership helps believers put down roots in a local church through commitment, accountability, and shared mission. The hosts walk through the membership process at Rainbow Forest, explaining how it serves as an opportunity to understand the gospel, connect with church leadership, and commit to a body of believers who are united in exalting Christ. Membership isn’t simply joining an organization—it’s becoming part of a spiritual family that grows together, serves together, and advances the glory of God together. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.rainbowforest.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yIMDuiNoblL0yhbFgDeO4QtJhTiT_2X]
