Building His Kingdom Here...and Afar

At Mount Pleasant, we recognize the need to go beyond the walls of the physical church building to minister to those in our community and around the world. The missionaries we support either live in Terre Haute and serve our community or have been sent out from Mount Pleasant into the world. Their connections to Mount Pleasant run deep and we are grateful to be witnesses to all God is doing in our community and world because of them. 


Our budget for Missions is entirely self-sustaining and separate from the operating budget. We draw our financial support from fundraisers throughout the year as well as gifts from individuals to support the missionaries listed below. We are grateful for the support we receive from those inside and outside the church as we seek to grow His kingdom here and around the world. If you are interested in giving, please click the button below and through using our online giving platform, you will be able to designate your gift for missions.
