Alameda has a long history of evangelizing throughout the world. From planting churches in Brazil to the campus of the University of Oklahoma, our mission is to make Jesus known wherever we go.

Missions Opportunity in Norman!
Several of our Alameda members are involved in the Friends to International Students program at OU. They take time to get to know and show hospitality to international college students in Norman. If you are interested in this program, you can find more information and the application here.
Ecuador Medical Mission
Several Alameda members are part of a medical mission team that serves the people of Ecuador. Part of the Alameda missions budget goes toward medicines that the medical team uses to treat patients in the clinics they provide in Ecuador. We also have members that send sunglasses, baby blankets, feminine hygiene kits, and donations for bars of soap.
Last June (2022), the team served people that live in villages along the Cayapas River.
The 2023 medical mission trip in January served the people in the mountains.
Videos highlighting both trips are below.
Short-Term Member Mission Trips
Part of our Missions Sunday collection will go toward giving financial support for Alameda members to attend short-term mission trips. Examples of a few of these trips are highlighted in the video below!
Shane Standerfer
Part of our Missions Sunday collection will go toward Shane Standerfer, our Campus Missionary.
Watch the video below to learn about Shane's ministry and the work he is doing to make Jesus known on the campus of the University of Oklahoma.
DuHope
DuHope is an organization in Rwanda that is helping women leave sex work by providing the skills needed to make and sell jewelry.
In 2022, members of Alameda provided Bibles for the women at DuHope. One of our mission efforts for 2023 is to offer financial support to this organization.
