GLOBAL OUTREACH
Global Outreach is one of two major components that form the Outreach Ministry at HCC.
The message of God’s heart for all nations (ethne = people groups) is a central theme of the Bible, where God wants every Christian to be involved in some way in bringing the Gospel to unreached people groups, wherever the Christian and the unreached people may be. Like local outreach, global outreach is a social responsibility that cannot be ignored.
The purpose of short-term missions is to help those involved in missions to grasp the grace of God and further develop theirs and other's relationships with Christ while personally sharing and spreading the Gospel with the people they encounter.

Supporting long-term, career missionaries serving across the globe is an essential component of the Global Outreach Ministry. It is the mission of HCC to support career missionaries as well as those who have committed to short-term missions financially and spiritually.
HCC desires to equip those that have decided to pursue full-time ministry as their career with financial and spiritual support, so that they can better carry out the mission of Christ to those that they will eventually serve.
HCC is committed to...
- Offering summer or one-year internships to recently-graduated and current seminary students to help students and graduates apply what they have learned in the classroom to the real world.
- Offering support for ministry placement upon graduation.
- Financial support for seminarians to full-time seminary students.

The purpose of missions education is to raise the awareness of the importance of missions and the purpose and reasons why Christians reach out to non-Christians. In pursuing this goal, the Outreach Ministry is committed to evangelism education and encouraging those that have had prior evangelistic experiences to share their experiences with those that are contemplating short-term or long-term missions.
In order to help make outside missions education more accessible, the missions education subcommittee helps financially, logistically, and spiritually support those that desire to learn more about missions through missions conferences and other missions education venues.
Missions education conferences and classes that HCC has actively encouraged engaging in include:
