Church Ministries
The work of protecting the vulnerable and bringing justice and restoration to the oppressed is integral to the work of the gospel, and our churches will come alive as we tangibly live this out in our communities. Unbound was born out of the Antioch International Movement of Churches, and each Unbound Office started out as a grassroots ministry within a local church.
Unbound Ministries around the United States are working in three main areas:
Unbound Ministries around the United States are working in three main areas:
- MOBILIZE THE CHURCH: Churches are made up of brilliant people with unique skills and areas of influence. What if all of these members were mobilized to prevent, identify and respond to human trafficking, in their worlds? Whether a parent equipped to protect their kids or a doctor trained to identify the signs of human trafficking, our church members can be mobilized for a vital role in the fight.
- PARTICIPATE IN UNBOUND GLOBAL: Unbound is supporting hundreds of human trafficking survivors across the world each year. Unbound ministries are invited to have global impact, bringing freedom and restoration to communities around the world.
- SUPPORT LOCAL EFFORTS: Unbound Ministries mobilize church members for tangible community impact by supporting local efforts. Not only does this give a great community service opportunity for church members, but it also shows the community that the church is active in caring for the oppressed.
