Mission Abilene (Official)

Our worship is free, exciting and non-traditional. We are a multi-denominational congregation with members from all social, economic, ethnic, educational and religious backgrounds. Our congregation is a body of Christ for individuals who desire freedom in worship no matter where they are in their spiritual walk.

In 1996 in a little rundown backyard with 5 people either homeless or poor a Bible study was birthed by Mark Hewitt and Love and Care Ministries. Those 5 people were eager to learn about Jesus Christ. After 6 months of faithfully attending and faithfully inviting people to come this little Bible study grew to 30 people. In 1997 with the assistance of Pioneer Drive Baptist Church, a church was formed called The Mission. In April of 2004 Chad Mitchell became the pastor., under his leadership The Mission continued to grow and grow, in fact grow so much that the sanctuary was maxed to capacity. As a result of God's blessing, in November of 2004 The Mission acquired a new building which was generously given by the Shelton Foundation. Today, it sits at the corner of Nth 3rd & Mockingbird in Abilene, Texas. Though our community gathering space has changed, our message has not. As you walk into the church you will see a sign that says A CHURCH OPEN TO ALL PEOPLE. As of January 2007 The Mission became an independent church, known as MISSION Abilene solely depending on its community members for support.
