Serving Our Community
Regional Missons
World Bible School
Sunset serves our community though a number of Regional Missions. Some in our immediate area, but others are further afield. Online Bible Study is available wherever and whenever you’re ready. You can learn at your own pace, around your schedule, and do so in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese.
Prison Ministry
The Prison Ministry is an evangelistic outreach provided through correspondence for prisoners confined in several U.S. prisons. Volunteers write personal letters to each prisoner, developing a relationship, while providing a series of lessons to acquaint and further the student’s knowledge of the Bible. This program is overseen by one of our elders, Don Johnson.
Hispanic Ministry
The first Hispanic congregation of the Church of Christ in the Springfield area began right here at 1222 W. Sunset in Springfield MO. Presently the Iglesia de Cristo en Sunset consists of about 25 members and has enjoyed about a decade of growth and unity.
Local Missions
Partners In Education
Sunset serves this community with a partnership with the Holland Elementary and Mark Twain Elementary Schools in Springfield. We provide services to students and their families. Working with these Title 1 elementary schools gives Sunset occasions to provide both community service as well as mission opportunities.
Ladies Sewing Group
Monday mornings a number of our ladies meet at the building to make quilts, fleece blankets, hats, scarves and anything else they are able. These items are used to provide comfort to those displaced from their homes due to fire, theft, or the death of a parent, to name a few. These ladies provide hand-made quilts for the local fire departments, orphanages, shelters and other community organizations. The Ladies’ Sewing Group is so much more than a group of ladies getting together to visit and sew. The Victims Center and children’s homes have quilts given to them by this group. Displaced children in foster care get their own beautiful quilt made for them. This group loves sewing and being together and most of all, they love serving God and the southwest Missouri community.
Packages of Love
These packages are presented to new Moms and Babes in need at both Mercy and Cox hospitals as well as many other hospitals in southwest Missouri. As needed, Sunset Church of Christ assembles baby items such as blankets, clothing, handmade quilts, knitted blankets, and other supplies into gift packages which are given to those in need.
Evangelistic Bible Studies
Sunset has a number of people available to teach from God’s word. Bible classes are available for all ages at the building on Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. Personal Bible Study is also available upon request as well as Online Bible Study which is available to accommodate anyone’s schedule.
Emergency Pantry
Sunset is a vital part of this community and we have a number of ministries within this community. Our food pantry is an emergency pantry providing food assistance to any Sunset members, to families within the 65807 zip code, and to families referred to us by the schools in our area or by our own members. Regular donations of food and money from our members as well as non-members keep our pantry well stocked. All donations are accepted and appreciated. Food donations can be placed in the red wagon in the foyer or by bring items by to the church office.
