Arundel Christian Church profoundly cares about the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those inside and outside our church building. We have partnered with organizations and individuals locally, nationally, and globally to support need-meeting ministries that help to build God's Kingdom.
Arundel Christian Church takes the command to “GO” seriously, and that partly includes providing opportunities to participate in short-term mission trips and service projects.
“Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.” -Ephesians 5:2 MSG
In 2026 we will have 9 opportunities to GO beyond our community and out into the world to share the love of Christ. We encourage you to pray about God’s calling on you to GO!

The word “stadia” is a unit of measure used in scripture. Not only was it used to describe the distance from Jerusalem to Emmaus, but how far the disciples were from the shore when Jesus challenged Peter to walk on water, and as the name of a foot race similar to what Paul had in mind when he talked about perseverance. It’s also used to describe the distance around the heavenly city outlined in Revelation 21:16, which will be filled with people from every tribe, language, and nation.
Stadia is designed to help guide new-church leaders through the beautiful, but sometimes difficult journey of launching and leading new churches that thrive, grow, and multiply for the next generation— so that the world may know Jesus.

Eastern Dominican Christian Mission (EDCM) exists to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ by making disciples and forming those disciples into congregations. Since the founding of the mission in 2003, EDCM has had a goal of planting churches in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic and helping lead those churches to self-sufficiency. This goal is accomplished primarily by two words: Equip and Empower.
Our ministries aim to: feed hungry children; create preschool “Grow Zones” where ECD practitioners are equipped to teach children about Jesus and prepare them for school; create after-school “Safe Zones” where children can receive food, tutoring, and spiritual education; intentionally disciple adults and youth, coaching them to be transformational leaders in their communities.
