Missions
Lamb of God is a congregation that seeks to be Loving, Outreaching and Growing, Together in Christ.
We believe that God's vision for our congregation is to become a "Community of Missionaries" being discipled and cared for to share the Good News about Jesus with everyone we meet. We believe that God loves us and cares for us, and has brought us into a relationship with him through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Because of that great blessing, we now seek to care for others and share God’s love with them as well. Everything we do is about that mission.
As individuals, we seek to witness to God’s love in every moment of our lives, as we interact with our friends, neighbors, and family. As a community of believers, we also come together to provide a joint witness to the hope we have in Christ. In this section you’ll find information on some of the many ways that we go about that joint witness.
Texas District Missions
Lamb of God supports the mission projects of the Texas District of the LCMS. In particular, we have been involved with supporting Texas Partners in Mission, a project of the Texas District, a ministry to support the development of missions in Texas, POBLO-Texas, a mission to Muslims living in Texas, and the Circuit 8 Mission Action Team, which seeks to start new missions in the north DFW area.

World Missions
Lamb of God supports missions and missionaries across the globe by partnering with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod at the national level, as well as supporting LCMS World Missions. In addition, Lamb of God supports several long-term missionaries as they seek to share God’s love with the people they serve.
We support these missions first and foremost through regular prayer. Click here to find out more about our Prayer Ministry. We also seek to provide spiritual resources to long-term missionaries in the form of “circular letters”—CDs of sermons and Bible studies, so that the missionary can hear God’s Word in his or her heart language even as they seek to share God’s Word to others in their own heart language. Finally, we support specific missionaries with financial contributions. Below you will find information on some of the specific missionaries we support.
