At CVP, we desire to see the Gospel grow within our families and local church. We equally desire to see the Gospel travel throughout the world to reach all of God’s elect. Therefore, we encourage our members to personally fulfill the Great Commission and to take the Good News of Christ’s ministry, death, burial and resurrection to the very ends of the earth. We have also partnered with several local and foreign missionaries/organizations to aid in our outreach and ministry.
Bethany Christian Services - http://www.bethany.org/modesto
Bethany Christian Services is the nation’s largest adoption agency, that also cares for women facing unplanned pregnancies and orphans living on five continents. Bethany serves children at conception by counseling women with unplanned pregnancies and by providing frozen embryos a chance for a full life through its embryo adoption program. Their commitment further extends to children and teens who are living in foster care or in orphanages-children who need a “forever family.”
Bethany’s House - http://www.bethany.org/modesto/bethanys-house
Bethany’s House is a local ministry of Bethany Christian Services The ministry takes place in a beautiful home that was designed for girls 18 and over who are experiencing a crisis or unplanned pregnancy. They seek to support and evangelize the ladies who stay at the house and see that the children are placed in good homes. See their page for more details.
Metanoia Ministries - http://pcamna.org/metanoia/
Metanoia Ministries is a distinctively reformed prison ministry which seeks to serve all of the needs of the Christian prison inmate from Bible studies to assistance in integration into the local church. Metanoia Ministries was founded in 1996 by Pastor Dion L. Marshall and his wife, Shelly, to reach prisoners with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, changing their lives in the here and now and for all eternity.
Come Over and Help (COAH) - www.coah.org
We endorse the work that COAH is doing in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. COAH works to build churches, sponsor/aid pastors, build orphanages, and publish Christian doctrine and theology (reformed, puritanical writings). This is truly a unique ministry and one that we feel fits our vision for missions and ministry.

Former Central Valley residents, the entire Todd Adams family have been missionaries to Eastern Canada since 2004. Spending most of the year in Quebec, Canada, the Adams minister to individuals and families of Quebec churches who are in crisis. CVP has been blessed as a church to have the opportunity to not only support this ministry financially, but to send members of our church to spend time with the Adams “on the field.”

The Slawson Family - Siberian Grits Blog
The Thomas Slawson family is ministering in St. Petersburg Russia with Interact Ministries. Their vision is as follows: “Our desire is to see the gospel of Jesus Christ transforming the lives of the peoples of Russia by ministering to children with disabilities and by serving within local churches to bring about reformation.” As a church that equips families to engage the world together, we are thrilled to partner with an entire family that serves and ministers together on the mission field.
