Aurora Missions Ministry: Living the Great Commission
At Aurora Community Church, we take the Great Commission to heart. Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20 to “go and make disciples of all nations,” and Acts 1:8 reminds us of our mission to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. This is not an “either-or” calling—it’s a “both-and” mission that compels us to serve across the street, across our state, across the country, and across the world.
Our Missions Ministry reflects this vision, targeting all four areas simultaneously:
• Jerusalem (Local Community): We are active in service projects in Shoreline, Edmonds, and Seattle, supporting neighbors in need, volunteering at local shelters, and partnering with organizations that bring hope to our community.
• Judea (Our State): We engage with projects across Washington, joining efforts that include disaster response, community revitalization, and outreach to underserved areas.
• Samaria (Our Nation): As part of the Church of the Nazarene, we collaborate with hundreds of churches across the U.S., helping with initiatives such as planting new congregations, supporting mission stations, and providing disaster care.
• The Ends of the Earth (Global Missions): With 32,000 Nazarene congregations worldwide, we are part of an international network supporting missionaries in Africa, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. At Aurora, we engage with these global efforts through mission trips, financial support, collecting goods, and staying connected with the stories and needs of our global church family.
As a congregation, we keep our members informed and inspired by sharing updates on global evangelism and providing opportunities to get involved. Whether through prayer, financial contributions, volunteering, or participating in mission trips, there’s a role for
everyone in this thriving ministry.

If you feel called to serve in any capacity—locally or globally—contact the church office at info@auroracommunity.org or visit the “I’m Interested In” page on our website. We welcome contributions in the form of finances, goods, or willing hands. Together, let’s take responsibility for the entirety of the Great Commission and share the love of Jesus to the ends of the earth!
