Make a Global Impact
As we are on mission together, we take Jesus’ command to “make disciples of all nations” seriously (Matt. 28:19). We are honored to support and partner with ministries all over the world to help them make disciples who are fully alive in Jesus.
Global Partners
Plainfield Christian Church partners with different missionaries and organizations around the world. Learn more about our partners, missionaries, church plants, and next gen partnerships.
We want everyone to be Fully Alive, both here in our community and around the world. That's why we're partnering with GO Ministries to plant ten churches in the community of Gurabo, part of the city of Santiago, Dominican Republic between now and the end of 2028.
This is an amazing opportunity for our church to make a big difference in this community. We want everyone in our church family to pray for this ministry. As Elvis Jaquez, the Gurabo Network Leader, and his team work to plant churches, we will also send teams down to help them with their work.
