Our Goal and Mission Statement


Church Family Missions is a non-profit organization that provides the opportunity to travel to countries in Central America for short-term missions projects for approximately 14 days, once each year in the fall.

Teams are made up of interested persons from the entire Christian Community, which work together and along with the national Christians on a construction project and also provide a children's outreach with bible stories, songs, crafts and puppets.

Our ultimate goal is to bring Christians form the United States, the first world, together with those from Central America, the third world, to develop relationships and to support the national churches to reach the poor and lost in their own communities.

Our "Connections" in the United States


Beyond Partnership Ministries, who believe in supporting the national leadership with their vision of building and relational needs, provides CFM with the connection to the Central American ministries and leaders for the yearly projects. They arranges the accommodations, meals and transportation  and coordinate the project in the chosen Central American country.  They also arrange for and purchase the supplies prior to our arrival.

The CFM directors choose the project, recruit, prepare and  transport the team to the Central American country. They also take responsibility to raise the funds necessary for the construction project and the children’s activities. 

How Can You Be Involved?

Primarily, we welcome your participation.  We plan our trips within the month of October.  This is at the end of the rainy season and we are able to accomplish more without the delays that heavy rains can cause.  The cost is approximately $1800 and covers the individuals’ transportation, accommodations, meals and two days of rest and reflection at the end of the project.  Trips range from 10 to 14 days, dependant on location and travel time.  With your request for information we will put you on our mailing list so you will receive information about the yearly upcoming trips. 

Next, we welcome your prayer.  We have found there can be little accomplished without spiritual strength and guidance.  We began this organization based on our faith that this work is of importance to God and continue to base our serving Him on our faith in His will for all the people involved, both the Central American Nationals and the North American team members.

The last way to help is financial.  All contributions are tax deductible.  The cost for one construction project and all supplies for a children’s program is approximately $7000.  We find that we are able to build a substantial and useful building for this unbelievable amount.  Any contributions to this effort should be in check form to “Church Family Missions”.  Contribution letters are mailed to you in January of the following year.
