Missions Team
The Loveland Christian Church Missions Team exists to extend the church’s role in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) by supporting Christian missionaries or agencies to evangelize lost souls and to teach Christian maturity.
Below is a list of some of the missions LCC supports. We also support missionaries who work in areas of the world that are not friendly to the gospel message, so we do not identify them online for their protection.

Jorge and Diana Lugo - Venezuela
Our main objective has been to announce the good news, plant churches, and make disciples who make disciples. We have been providing church planting training and discipleship tools (such as Zume courses, Jonathan Training, and Kairos). In recent years our family has been able to meet physical needs of people living in desperate times because of faithful prayer partners and financial support. We have been holding Bible studies in the prison, providing basic supplies and simple meals to neighborhoods, and bringing hope and help to orphans. We study the book of Romans with people who are just starting to learn about God, and it’s an honor to baptize new believers. Through our small acts of obedience over the years and in conjunction with wonderful teammates, hundreds of people have experienced the love of Jesus in Caracas, and thousands of people have been born again because of our partners who enable this ministry. New churches are rising up in Venezuela, and new leaders are stepping forward in faith.
EnterMission
EnterMission is a gap year program for young adults aimed at grounding them in a Christian worldview, especially as it applies to a life’s work – wherever and whatever that may be. It involves 6 months or 12 months away from home in training and a missions trip.
Like most Christians, you’ve studied the Bible, heard lots of sermons, and gone to camps and conferences, yet you still hunger for a deeper experience with God. You don’t want to just believe, but make a difference in the world.
Entermission is dedicated to helping you do this by guiding and coaching you in your spiritual development, within the context of community, while also providing practical, hands-on training with people from diverse backgrounds that will last your entire life.
