SENT. SHARE. EMBODY.

​We are sent to share the embodied gospel.

Are you seeking purpose in God,  curious about Jesus, weary & questioning your faith, longing for community with people from different backgrounds?

Whether you've never stepped foot inside a church before, or you're not sure if you still belong in one, we're so glad you're here. 

At Missio, a church in Durham, we want to be a place where people from all backgrounds and walks of life can experience Jesus, worship him, and share his transforming love in authentic relationships with others. 

You don't have to have everything figured out. Just come and experience the goodness of Jesus with us.

We are sent to share the embodied gospel |

SENT. We trust God to be at work in this world through sending his church.

SHARE. We share the good news of Jesus that centers and transforms our lives. 

EMBODY. We embody the life and message of Jesus through our words and actions to one another, and through the mutuality of being one body, many parts. 

Connect With Us

At Missio, we believe listening is a form of love, so we really value conversations.

One of our elders would love to sit down with you over a cup of coffee, hear your story, and answer any questions you might have.

Whether you’re curious about faith, interested in how we serve our neighbors here in Durham, want to hear more about discipleship opportunities, or just want to learn more about a church near you, we’d love to talk with you.

No matter if church makes you feel curious, confused, wary, or excited, there’s room for you here.

Life Together

We need each other.

At Missio, we believe in mission through mutuality: in relationship with one another, we can know Jesus more fully and partner with him to bring more beauty and justice to the world. Our community at Missio comes from all across Durham as well as Brier Creek, Chapel Hill, Cary, Morrisville, and Apex.

Though this value expresses itself in many different ways at our church, whether through small groups (called Missio groups, bible studies, or serving the Durham community and surrounding area, the heart behind all our gatherings is the same–to love each other, and the world, as we have been loved.

“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

The room has large windows with blinds, houseplants, artwork, and various household items, including a high chair, an overhanging hammock chair, and a rug.

Our Story

Everyone loves a good origin story.

Ours began with Didi and Amber Wong’s desire to form a community in south Durham, NC, marked by mission and mutuality, built on the renewing love of Jesus, where others could grow in their Christian faith and discipleship,

People gathered inside a church or auditorium for a service, with some standing and others seated. The room has a high, wooden ceiling with hanging light fixtures, brick walls, and digital screens displaying song lyrics.

Sermon Series: Discerning in Dialogue

Sunday, Aug 9th
4:30-6p
Missio Church | Durham

We are in a series on decision-making called "Discerning in Dialogue", inspired by a recent Christianity Today article by Russell Moore. We make so many decisions every day, big and small, and God calls for our decision-making to be a part of our discipleship, too. Discerning the "right" decision is most life-giving when dialoguing in various ways. Let's explore decision-making in light of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ!
