Missions has been in the DNA of Hawthorne Gospel Church since its founding. One of our core values states: God’s great love for the world motivates us to reach out with creative and caring ways of sharing the gospel. Locally we will build bridges to the people in our communities and globally we devote ourselves to world missions.
Since the church’s first missionary went to Africa in 1939 the Hawthorne Gospel Church has maintained a strong commitment to this cause. They have planted new churches, served the needs of these new communities, discipled young people from every walk of life, provided health care and fed, clothed the poor, built schools, provided leadership development and training, worked with literacy, and organizational support.
Missionaries from the Hawthorne Gospel Church have also taken the initiative to introduce the gospel into “unreached people groups” who have no access to local churches – and the list of what they do or have done goes on and on. And all this is done with the desire to share the gospel so that people come to know God and to grow in their relationship with him.
