Our Mission Partners
Before he ascended into heaven, Jesus told his disciples, “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The mission of the Church begins locally, but extends outward, finally reaching to the ends of the earth. St. Paul Lutheran Church is involved in mission and outreach in Niceville, the State of Florida, throughout the United States and internationally.
​
Our local partners include CALM House, The Pavilion, and Sharing and Caring. Our statewide partners include Epiphany Lutheran Church in Pensacola. Our partners in North America include the North American Lutheran Church, NALC Disaster Response, and Cross Country Mission.
​
We recognize that mission is more than what we do for others. It is what we do together, as we serve each other, and share in the work of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations. The following ministries have been chosen as our international Mission Partners in 2025.
Congo Mission International
Congo Mission International seeks partnerships between churches in North America and those of the dynamic and growing Lutheran church in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the objective of fostering a mission awareness within churches in North America, and working with Pastor Didi Panzo (NALC Global Worker) in equipping Lutherans in Congo to become more effective in their proclamation of the Gospel and service to the people of God.
