Momentum Missions is the missions arm of The Centre for European Church Planting.  It is our mission to mobilize the body of Christ to reach Europe with the gospel.  Our mission trips are:

  • Outreach Oriented:  we are involved in ministry activities designed to reach lost people.  Depending on the kind of trip, these activities range from Ultimate Frisbee Tournaments to handing out Kit-Kat bars, from Matthew Parties to community service Projects.
  • Local Church Based:  We partner with a local church and serve its ministry and outreach initiatives.  This gives focus and context to our ministry efforts, and ensures that proper follow-up and discipleship can take place with people we reach.
  • Personally Rewarding:  We work to ensure that participants have a great time.  We work hard, play hard, and grow as a team with each other, and as Christians with God.  And we take time out to enjoy the natural beauty and rich history of our host city:  Edinburgh, Scotland.

OUR HISTORY

Project Ukraine
Momentum Missions was formed out the experiences of our founder, Tom Jackson.  When he was 23, he went on a short-term missions trip to the Soviet Union (in what is now Ukraine) that changed his life.  He took several youth groups on missions trips to Ukraine and was involved in helping to plant churches there.

Eventually he and his family moved to Ukraine.  In looking back on this time, he explains:  “Short-term mission trips played a key role in advancing the gospel and encouraging Ukrainian Christians.  Many lives were touched by the love of Christ expressed through people on these mission trips.”

Mission To Scotland
While in Ukraine, God began leading Tom to plant a church in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Remembering the positive impact that short-term missions had made in Ukraine, he set about organizing trips that could assist the church plant.  Since 2003, including the first scouting trip that paved the way for the church plant, 7 mission trips have participated in outreach in Scotland.

Mission To Europe
Europe needs the gospel.  It is our mission to mobilize the body of Christ to missions involvement in Europe.  In partnership with the Centre for European Church Planting, we want to help reach Europe with the Gospel.
