At Memorial, we believe the Church doesn't exist for itself—we exist to make Jesus
known and to love people deeply. Our mission efforts reflect that calling, both across the
street and across the world. Every ministry we engage in is driven by relationships,
rooted in the gospel, and shaped by a desire to see lives transformed.
We are committed to building real, ongoing relationships with our unhoused neighbors
in Jefferson City. Through regular outreach, practical support, and intentional care, we
seek to reflect the love of Christ and restore dignity where it’s often lost.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his

“But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and
you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the
resurrection of the just.”
—Luke 14:13–14 (ESV)

In addition to our local and global mission work, Memorial Church supports the broader
mission of the gospel through our partnership with the Southern Baptist Convention.
We joyfully give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and the Annie Armstrong
Easter Offering, which directly support international and North American missionaries
as they share the good news of Jesus, plant churches, and meet tangible needs across
the globe.
“And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful
are the feet of those who preach the good news!’”
—Romans 10:15 (ESV)
