Our Mission
Our Goals
Increase Personal Involvement Greater awareness, engagement (praying, welcoming, supporting, going), and urgency within believers and local churches regarding reaching the unreached.
Increase Missionary Sending: Mobilize more mid-term or long-term missionaries from Atlanta area churches into cross-cultural ministry.
Our Community
Represented in the Atlanta Missions Collective are several churches and missions organizations. We're growing all the time and members will be added to this page as needed.
We'd love to have you join us at our next gathering. Click on the Events tab to see when that is.

Global Frontier Missions (GFM) is an international, inter-denominational Christian missionary mobilization and training agency. GFM has trained over 500 missionaries in the last 20 years to go into all the world to preach the gospel. Their goal is to train 500 more in the next 10 years . . . until all have heard!
Over the next decade, they plan to focus our strategic efforts in the following five areas: Pre-Field Training, Tentmaking Training, On-The-Field Training, Global South Training, and Online Training.
Shepherd’s Staff is a missions-facilitating organization dedicated to supporting and equipping local churches to send their own members as missionaries. The church is the sender!
Their team provides HR support, including W2 employment, donation processing, financial planning, access to insurance and retirement planning, and general administrative services.
They offer supportive coaching and practical training to churches in areas such as assessing missionary candidates, guiding missionaries through transition, counseling through conflict or difficulty, and caring well for returning missionaries.
Perspectives is a 15 week course exploring God’s desire that all nations and every people group would know Him. Every week a new instructor teaches a different aspect of how God is working in the world. This course will help you understand His purpose for you, and you may discover how you can be used of God to reach the unreached in the world.
CULTURELink’s mission is to make disciples of those who make disciples of all nations. Their ministry invests in churches and organizations through three primary expressions: Educating through Consulting & Coaching, Equipping through Seminars & Resources, and Empowering through Partnerships and Projects.
They have served hundreds of churches and dozens of organizations across multiple denominations. Since 2010, CULTURELink has trained over 3000 leaders who served in or mobilized teams into 139 nations.
Our Beliefs
The Atlanta Missions Collective is a multi-church, inter-organizational, cross-denominational, collaborative effort to mobilize more missions work among the unreached. We strive to focus on the essentials and minimize differences in non-primary doctrinal issues. We take this stance as we believe the most strategic way forward in missionary sending is working together as the unified body of Christ. The Nicene Creed is the doctrinal position we hold as we collaborate with organizations and churches of various theological leanings:
We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
