A MISSION FOCUSED CHURCH
We take seriously the challenge of Acts 1:8 as we advance the Gospel from our neighborhoods to the furthest parts of the world. We give and we go. Below is a list of ongoing missions that we support financially on a regular basis through the offerings given to Susquehanna. We’d love to get you connected to a ministry that meets your passion.
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
