We are a mission-minded church. We send and support evangelistic and benevolent missions throughout the world. We encourage our finest people to accept the call to Share Christ around the world. All persons of all races have been created in the image of God and stand in need of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
The church exists to serve the world. Therefore we send evangelists to Share Christ to the world. We participate in efforts to improve community life. We want to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, offer hospitality to the stranger, clothe the naked, minister to the sick, and visit the imprisoned, as Jesus instructed.
Missions is so much more than going on a missions trip. Everything we do at StoneBridge is missional. We do this by launching multisite campuses in local communities, partnering with local churches, serving our local communities, responding to disaster relief and current events, and serving globally.
Multisite Campuses
First and foremost, we are a multisite church! Missions is in our DNA. We launched 3 multisite campuses and have an online campus. We understand meeting people where they are. As we see needs in communities, we have put together launch teams of about 100 people and have them plant a multisite to serve and invest locally. We have done this in the Millard and Benson areas of Omaha, and Fremont, NE so far!
Church Partnerships
Our vision is to partner with the Christian Church in Nebraska and surrounding communities to encourage, support, and empower church growth and vitality. This is a part of our missions strategy. We want to be a friend to the local church and support in any way we can!
Disaster Relief/Current Events
We want to be prepared to respond to the needs locally and globally. Our church comes together to respond financially and to be hands and feet on the ground.

Mission Trips provide opportunities to serve people outside of the Omaha metro area.
Some trips involve physical labor like cutting wood or building homes, while others provide opportunities to work with children or minister more directly to adults. Every trip is different, but the goal of each is the same: to demonstrate God's love in concrete, tangible ways to a world that desperately needs it.

StoneBridge Connection: For more than 10 years, teams from StoneBridge have traveled with Amor to Puerto Penasco, Mexico to build houses and connect with the families and neighbors where the houses have been built. Make plans to join the next team!
What do they do? For the last thirty years, Amor Ministries' main purpose has been to provide adequate housing for needy families in order to keep families together! Amor Ministries does more than just make life easier for a family in need. They open hearts to truly see the grace and love of Jesus by providing security, safety, and stability. Amor supplies materials, staff and connections with local churches to provide the guidance and tools for volunteer groups to build a two-room home in a matter of three or four days. In 30 years, over 16,000 homes have been built and numerous lives changed.
Why is it important? When Mexican pastors are asked what the greatest need is in their community, adequate housing is the answer. Without a decent place to live, people cannot be productive members of society, children cannot learn and families cannot thrive. In Mexico, however, affordable housing is an impossible goal for millions of families. Consider these facts:
National unemployment rates are close to 40 percent;
Minimum wage is set at 40 pesos per day (about $4);
There are 21.5 million housing units and 22.3 million households. Over 4.5 million Mexicans live in substandard housing.

StoneBridge Connection: In 2014, StoneBridge raised over $80,000 for their annual Christmas offering. That offering went to fully fund a church plant in Santa Elena, Ecuador. Members of the StoneBridge family then went on to sponsor all of the available children in that church through Compassion International.
What do they do? Compassion International is a child-advocacy ministry that pairs compassionate people with those who are suffering from poverty. The ministry releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty. The goal is for each child to become a responsible and fulfilled adult.
Why is it important? All Compassion-sponsored children have the opportunity to develop their God-given potential and be released from the poverty that has trapped their families for generations.
Child sponsorship offers:
ongoing Christian training through a local church.
educational opportunities to defeat illiteracy.
key life skills training and vocational programs to provide a brighter future.
health care to prevent and fight disease and sickness.
supplements to protect against malnutrition.
recreational activities to development self-confidence and social skills.
protection from crime, violence and danger.

Why is it important? Open Door Mission is a Gospel Rescue Mission providing long-term solutions and programs that break the cycle of homelessness and poverty.
