MissionLink

A Word from the Director

MissionLink’s goal is reflected in its name. We seek to link individuals, churches, and organizations to missional opportunities both locally and around the world. Students at Lubbock Christian University may seek a degree in Missional Engagement, or add a minor in Missional Engagement to another degree so that they are ready to begin their career better prepared. Not only for the business world, but also for a greater spiritual impact. We have rebuilt all of our Missional courses to appeal to non-ministry students without reducing quality training for Mission minded students. Let us help you identify your passion, a place of work or service, and we can show you an organization or missionary sending organization that can get you started.

International

MissionLink partners with many international mission organizations and churches to help empower students during and after university. We offer the chance for missionaries and organization representatives to speak on campus and inform students about their work and internship opportunities. Additionally, we offer students the opportunity to join LCU Faculty on our annual trip to the International Conference on Missions. At ICOM, students are able to network with global partners.

Local

MissionLink partners with local churches to help equip and prepare the local body of Christ to make an impact globally. We speak at churches to help inspire youth and teens about looking into missional engagement and growing the body globally. We offer seminars for churches to help equip them in cross-cultural missions and service, worldview and cultural dynamics, team formation, personnel care, fundraising, developing partnership, and much more.
