Spreading the Gospel
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
Matthew 28:19
Pearlside is committed to sending people to the nations of the Earth in uncompromising obedience to the Great Commission to serve in both short and long-term missions. We are praying to reach people of various cultures, ethnicities, and nations through our short-term missions. We plan to send ourselves to share the gospel and the love of Christ throughout the world.
Pearlside church is part of the Every Nation Global family of churches. Since 1994, Every Nation missionaries and church planters have answered the call to bring the gospel to campuses and cities around the world. We plant churches that reach the campus because we firmly believe that if we change the campus, we will eventually change the family, the nation, and the world.
