Building Leaders for the Rural Church

A Ministry of Village Missions

Village Missions exists to glorify Jesus Christ by developing spiritually vital country churches in rural North America. We fulfill this aim by placing pastors in small town and rural churches that might otherwise have to close, and in doing so, preserve the Gospel presence in communities across the United States and Canada.
