As a church family, MeadowBrook has a heart for missions and making disciples. Locally, there are many opportunities to be engaged with making disciples and serving others with compassion and care. If you can't travel overseas on a short term mission trip, below are many ways you can be reaching out with the gospel to those who have never heard.

International Students at GSCC

God has brought the nations to Gadsden. This is our chance to build relationships and share the Gospel to those who may not have an opportunity to hear about Jesus in their home countries. Each semester, families and Life Groups host international students in their homes or take part in dinner and game nights at the church in order to build relationships with these students.

Way of the Cross

Way of the Cross is an interdenominational ministry that engages the poor in our area. Every Thursday morning, MeadowBrook sends teams of people to prepare and serve a hot lunch to those who are hungry in our community. And each Friday night, we have people on site to teach the children Bible stories or help with the adult service.
