Local Missions
Our serving in the local community should meet the physical and emotional needs of a hurting world, but with a deep regard for the unbeliever's most critical need, which is to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Matthew 28.19-20).
While Ada Bible Church supports the overall activity and visions of these organizations, we may not necessarily support every point of view.
