Our passion is to heed the "great commission" of Jesus Christ and make a difference globally through Christian mission. We support several ministries who see Aberdeen as their mission. We also support individuals and organisations abroad who touch the world with transforming love of Jesus.



OUR GLOBAL PARTNERS
Beata Wozna (pictured on the left) in partnership with Theresa Wilson (right) are working with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea. They are translating the Bible for the first time into the Seimat language (a people group in the Ninigo Islands). If you would like to be involved in supporting them, please contact us at office@aberdeencf.com and request the attention of Tracy Taylor.



We also have the privilege of supporting the ministry of Barnabas Fund as they draw the world's attention to the plight of persecuted Christians throughout the world. Please contact us at office@aberdeencf.com and request the attention of Beth Wilson for more information. The church has also established links with several ministries and individuals in this past year.

We have been privileged to support several workers who are active in the ministries of The Slavic Gospel Association, India Village Ministries, Friends International, Tear Fund, CAMEO and Missionary Aviation Fellowship. Contact us at office@aberdeencf.com if you wish to be involved in any of these ministries through the church.
