"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn’t."
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
Cedar Grove Missions responds out of love to Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations. We do this through the deepening discipleship of every individual at Cedar Grove Church and the sending of those who have the Good News to the unreached who have never heard the gospel, both locally and globally, by establishing churches where He will be known, worshiped, and obeyed.



Active Missionaries

Bob Kirk
SIM Canada (Serving In Mission)
Bob was led to put his trust in Jesus by his mother at age 6. At age 10 he recommitted his life to Jesus through the ministry of evangelist Barry Moore. God called Bob into ministry and missions in mid-career through circumstances around his sister's passing from breast cancer, and the mentorship of retired SIM missionaries Ralph and Doris Jacobson. After five years on staff at a church in Burnaby, he joined SIM in 2016. Bob believes that the key to sharing the Gospel with effect is a focus on the uniqueness of the Person Jesus. His favorite books may be the Gospel of Luke and Hebrews. Bob's ministry is with recent or new Canadians.

Rachel Nono
Youth Unlimited - YFC Central Alberta
In 2024 my family (husband and 3 kids) moved to Sylvan Lake, AB. Shortly after, God called me to join Youth Unlimited and work at the youth center/indoor skatepark in our town. There is never a dull moment in ministry and it’s so cool to see what God is doing and watch Him move. We strive to provide a safe place for youth to come to, build relationships with them and have a meal. God has been so faithful to my family and it’s been so encouraging to work with the youth and show them God’s love.

Stan and Sandy Anonby
Brazil
We joined Wycliffe in 1997, and served as surveyors in Brazil for 10 years. Survey is the first step in Bible translation, where we find out which tribes will be prioritized for translation. We then worked in Malaysia for five years, doing similar work. After that, we worked in Indonesia for another five years. Presently we are involved in teaching in Wycliffe schools in Brazil and Peru, training future missionaries from Latin America. We also continue to do language survey work in various parts of the world.
