Building Fundraiser

The Mission Church:

Loving God, Loving You

The Mission Church (church plant of Olivet Baptist Church, HOKSBA affiliated) first began on the Wichita State University campus in 2008 by a group of international students looking to share Christ with other students on campus.

Up until 2020, the Mission met weekly on campus at Wichita State University, for Sunday gatherings, prayer meetings, and other events. Once COVID-19 struck, the church had to find a place where they could freely meet and continue to outreach to those at the university, specifically international students. A few HOKSBA affiliated churches graciously let the church use their buildings in the afternoons. However, the Mission has always had a heart to be as near to WSU campus as possible, to be able to easily outreach to international students living on and around the area.

Why Are We Doing This Fundraiser?

The Mission Church (TMC) has grown incredibly since its inception, and as a church body we believe it is time to have our own physical place of worship. Having always been considered a "nomadic" church, a building of our own would give TMC a great opportunity to have a permanent home next to Wichita State Campus, where we can open our doors to any student searching for community, family and truth. We are walking by faith, believing that God will provide the right space for us at the appropriate time.

Regular Events

Sunday Gathering, 4:10 PM Weekly

Every Sunday afternoon, the church comes together for a time of worship. The 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month also include a fellowship dinner.

Prayer Meeting, 7:00 PM Wednesdays

On Wednesday evenings, the church comes together to share praise reports and prayer requests, as well as take part in communion together.

Game Night, 7:00 PM Fridays

Every Friday, TMC ends the week by hosting a game night. Pizza and drinks are served, and this is often used as a time to connect with nonbelievers.

Other Events

TMC often hosts events throughout the year, such as a Fall or Spring Welcome Party to intentionally get to know the new international students attending Wichita State University.

Fundraising Efforts

As part of our efforts to begin fundraising for a church, we will be holding a Garage Sale & Bake Sale on Saturday, June 7th, 2025 at Victory Temple Church (located at 2459 N Hillside St, Wichita, KS 67219). We see this not only as a fundraising opportunity, but also an opportunity for us to share a look into our church’s passion for outreach to international students among other growing ministries.

We anticipate 1-2 more large fundraising events later in 2025, although there are no set dates yet. We will update our website with details. If you or your church are interested to help with any future fundraising events, please reach out to us via email @ themissioners@gmail.com .
