Missions

We love missions!

While we’re not a “missions organization,” per se, mission work is a huge part of who we are. The reason for that is simple: Whole-life worship includes sharing our faith and showing love towards others. That’s what we teach at Next Level Worship International, and it’s also what we (love to) do! Hope you will join us on a trip soon!

Purpose and Overview:

NLW International has a partnership with the Baptist Churches of New England. This will be our fourth mission to New England. There is a great need in New England to help churches, especially in the training and resourcing of their pastors and worship leaders. These are the areas we will concentrate on when we go back in 2026.

What will our team be doing?

In general, we will be training pastors and worship leaders from churches throughout New England. Depending on each team member’s strengths and the needs we have, some team members may help play and sing in the main sessions. Others may help lead break-out sessions for either pastors or worship leaders or tech-related leaders. In addition to the time at the conference, our missions team can also stay and attend church services in the area on Sunday. Some may have the opportunity to speak, preach, testify and/or sing during the services.

Who is needed on this trip:

We need pastors, worship leaders and worship teams members, including band members and tech crew people. Please let us know if you want to bring others from your church. We would love to add them in, if we have room and need.
