Missions
Join us in service to God as we live out our faith in our local community and around the world
The Brandermill Church Missions Team works to inform, educate, and involve church disciples in serving others. We are deeply committed to missions, supporting a wide array of organizations, people, and places with our money and presence. Disciples and friends work together to serve those in need in the greater Richmond area, as well as abroad in places like Haiti, Guatemala, and Honduras. Caring for others is one of our greatest values, and there are opportunities for everyone to participate. Whatever time and resources you can share in caring for others are most welcome.
