We are a

Globally-Minded Church

We are a changed people because of God’s amazing grace that he has lavished on us. As we grow in grace, we also grow in our commitment to sharing the good news that has made all the difference in our own lives. We desire to be a globally-minded congregation, affirming and supporting God's work of renewal and transformation throughout the whole world, both at home and abroad.

We are a
Sending

Church

One distinguishing mark of Intown’s commitment to global missions is the fact that at least three-fourths of all the ministries we support are sent out from our own congregation.

 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

I Peter 3:15 (ESV)
