Missions
We believe the Gospel to be for all people groups, and in accordance with Acts 1:8 we seek to tell people about the good news of Jesus to the ends of the Earth. The church has always been passionate about outreach both at home and overseas. As well as reaching out into our local community through our various groups, we actively support a number of missionaries.

Melvin & Sharon Kelly (Mozambique)
Melvin joined the Mozambique OMS team in April 2004, where he spent almost three years overseeing construction projects, including the Maputo Bible Seminary. When Melvin and Sharon got married in August 2007, they began seeking God's will for the future. As a couple, they spent three and a half months in Mozambique from August to December 2008. Melvin & Sharon felt God leading them to return to train and empower the Mozambican Churches as they establish strategic sustainable ministries, reaching out into their communities with the transforming power of the Gospel. They also want to work closely with the Maputo Bible Seminary to facilitate ministry placements and bi-vocational training for the students. Melvin and Sharon have also helped set up Girassol, a charity shop in Antrim that supports the ministry out in Mozambique. In December 2009 Melvin and Sharon were blessed by the arrival of twins Abigail and Joshua. They began their ministry in Mozambique in September 2010.
