Global Partnerships
God is on a mission to reconcile and restore all of creation to a right relationship with Himself. As part of His church, we at Stockton Covenant Church are called and equipped to participate in those areas of mission which lie at our doorstep as well as those in the far corners of the earth.

Our Friends in Mission
Below is a list of fellow Christians in World Mission who are supported by people from our Stockton Covenant Church community. We have included the organization with which they partner as well as the StoCo attendees you can contact for more information. We have only listed missionaries (not organizations) and those not supported directly by our congregation. Join us in prayer for them, also.
