Missions 2.0 is about doing more. It’s about going beyond the way churches and ministries used to partner together, and truly being on the front lines of what is happening here in Charlotte and around the world. Whether you’re interested in serving on the local front in the community, or you are looking to step outside of your comfort zone and explore one of our global opportunities, we know that we have just what you are looking for.
