On Mission to Reach the Unreached
There is a dire need for the gospel around the world, and Wells Branch Community Church is committed to reaching unreached people groups with the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ. We sent missionaries to Tanzania in 2014 who worked with the locals to plant churches and spread the gospel there until they came back home in 2020. We now have a team in Northwest Africa and are always looking to send and support new teams who have a heart for the unreached. You can join us in our global missions by donating to our team in Northwest Africa directly or to our Missions Fund to support our future efforts.
