Missions

Welcome to LC3 Missions. 


God is always working to extend the message of His salvation to the ends of the earth. Graciously, He has allowed LC3 to participate with Him in this mission. This church has been a solid presence in local and overseas missions for years, and now is expanding its reach into new areas around the world, providing new ways for the LC3 family to be involved.

Perspectives Course

The current class is in session as of January 7, 2020! See details here.


15 Weeks...15 Instructors...One Epic Story

"Perspectives is the best *missions course there is, period." - Pastor Reg Overstreet


Enrich and expand your worldview in God's mission! Perspectives is more than a class, it is an experience, mobilizing believers to become active participants in God's global mission—at home and abroad!


What are the "Perspectives" covered? 

  1. YOUR Perspective. You have an epic role to play, and it will be revealed. 
  2. The Biblical Perspective. Perspectives illuminates God's unfolding plan from Genesis to Revelation.
  3. The Historical Perspective. Walk in the shoes of those who have paved the way before us.
  4. The Cultural Perspective. Experience how God is threading diverse peoples into His story in culturally relevant ways. 
  5. The Strategic Perspective. Discover how varied global missions strategies can be and how God might use your passions, expertise, and training for His glory at home or abroad. 

Perspectives is a course bathed in prayer that grows vision, gives purpose and hope, and unifies the body of Christ. It is more than a course, it's a movement!


This course is being coordinated by a diverse team, representing multiple churches in the Greater Tacoma area. 


The Course can be taken for fun, audit, or for college, graduate, or post-graduate level credits. 


Our Strategic Focuses

  • Adoption of Unreached peoples

    The traditional church missions approach is to support several missionaries around the globe, without much involvement from the congregation. This is a “shotgun” approach. A more recent and highly effective missions strategy is to adopt an unreached people group or other strategic focus, and pour constant congregational prayer, education for all ages, partnerships, support, short-term trips, and long-term missionaries into that focus people group or community. This “rifle approach,” in turn, inspires the entire congregation to get more active in missions, including that of their own neighborhoods and workplaces.


    (1) The Tam@jaq People of Niger, 2008 – Through prayer and research LCCC identified a movement of God among the unreached Tamajaq people of Niger. We formed a primary partnership with SIM, a church planting mission working with Tamajaq. Over a decade of this strategic mission focus we have sent, supported, funded, networked, prayed, and praised God in countless forms. We eagerly anticipate what God has in store for the next 10 years.


     (2) People Groups of D@gestan, 2018 – In 2018 we launched our second strategic focus, which aims in the opposite end of the 10/40 Window, in the D@gestan region. Our adopted three proximate unreached people groups in this area are the K-umyk, @kkin, and Nog@i. Pray for breakthrough among these extremely difficult groups to reach.


  • Local

    LCCC is also pleased to have local partnerships with agencies like CareNet Pregnancy Centers, Young Life, and Youth For Christ, by financially and prayerfully supporting them and sending volunteers for their ministries and special events. For information on these and all missions opportunities, contact LCCC’s Global Missions Team (GMT) leader, Jeff Rich.
