About
The DC Nations ministry exists for the glory & worship of the Lord among all nations. We believe that from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is centered around God’s plan to be glorified through Jesus Christ, the resurrected King (Gen 12:3, Rev 7:9). Jesus gives His followers a clear mandate to make disciples of all the nations (Matt 28:18-20), rejoicing in the knowledge that he will come again to restore all things (Romans 8:19-25). His sacrifice gives believers a new identity as ambassadors for the Kingdom of God with the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor 5:17-20). His Spirit equips us, as a body, to work together in order to declare his love through sacrifice, selfless service, and graceful proclamation of the gospel to all (Eph 4:15-16).
We equip the saints with the foundational knowledge of God’s desire for all to be redeemed through Jesus Christ. We do so by praying, sending cross-cultural workers, welcoming international neighbors, mobilizing the Church, and going to the nations. We host trainings, events, groups, and lead yearly short-term trips to learn about and engage with other cultures. We also train laborers to serve through long-term missions and support them financially, prayerfully, and through our Care Team.
If you are interested in serving locally, internationally or learning about God’s heart for the nations, please contact us at nations@declarationchurch.net. We would love to walk with you as you discover more of God!
Explore is a 7 week course designed to dive into scripture to learn more about God's heart for the nations and seeking to understand what our role in the Great Commission is. The goal is to equip believers to take the Gospel to BCS and beyond!
This Equipping Class will take place from October 11 - November 22 on Sunday mornings from 11:00am-12:30pm at the Church Offices.
DC NATIONS CARE TEAM
Nations Care Team exists to glorify God by promoting the well-being, growth, effectiveness, and sustainability of DC's career overseas missionaries through facilitating the fulfillment of their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. We also equip team members with skills and knowledge helpful to sharing the gospel cross-culturally. This is the best way to get involved with our Nations ministry! Meetings are once a month on the second Tuesday from 7-9PM.
Compassion International
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Compassion International to help release children and families from poverty in Jesus’ name. With God’s leading, we are supporting children in Peru and hope to send teams to these communities in the coming years to love and serve them as our neighbors.
We have chosen to partner with Compassion International because they are a Christ-centered, child-focused and church-driven organization that will provide our church family with a simple, generous and relational way to carry out our faith.
This is done through individual sponsorship where you will give monthly to provide for a child’s most basic needs- food, education, healthcare, etc. You will have the opportunity to get to know your sponsored child by writing letters, encourage them, and intercede on their behalf.
OUR PARTNERS
-
Perspectives is a fifteen-lesson discipleship course exploring different aspects of God’s global purpose in a multi-faceted learning experience. From Genesis to the prophets, Jesus to the early Church, and St. Augustine to the present, students learn how God moves, how the global Church responds, and the remaining task of world evangelization. Perspectives isn’t a course solely about world missions. It’s a study program rooted in Scripture clarifying each believer’s remarkable opportunity to co-labor with God in His global purpose.
