Missions Overview
Beltline Church of Christ strives to be a mission-minded church. The importance of missions is manifested in its annual mission budget, which has historically been one-third (1/3) of the total annual budget of the congregation.
Beltline supports Christian education, both at home and in foreign lands, by making contributions to the Heritage Christian University General Fund, the Heritage Christian University, Harding University, Faulkner University, and Freed-Hardeman University Bible Departments, and World Bible School in Cuba. Beltline also supports missionaries in Alaska, Mexico, Peru, Cuba, Greece, and Eastern Europe. Through contributions to Eastern European Missions, Bibles are distributed throughout Russia and Eastern Europe, and through our missionaries in Mexico, Bibles are distributed which are translated into both Spanish and Mayan.

Beltline assists in the funding of Kyle Butt’s work with Apologetics Press. Each year Beltline sponsors an Annual Ladies’ Conference in Havana, Cuba, where Christian ladies from Cuba and the surrounding Caribbean come together to hear lectures and to encourage one another, and, while the ladies attend the conference, men from Beltline teach Cuban men’s classes on topical issues. Faith-based addiction recovery is supported through the financial support of Project Rescue, Inc.
Our youth are encouraged to be involved in an annual Youth Mission Trip ministering to inner-city areas in big cities throughout the country. In an effort to assist our members and friends of our members who are interested in sharing God’s word with others by participating in mission trips, a portion of our budget is dedicated to one-time mission trip assistance.
