Arena Church truly seeks to be a ‘Glocal Church’. With a missions heart to the doorstep of the communities it is situated, as well as looking further afield to contexts around the world. Below is a brief description of these current global partnerships, all developed out of God-ordained relationships. Please continue to pray and support each one.

OPEN DOORS
Open Doors is an international ministry supporting persecuted Christians and Churches worldwide. Numbers of whom have to live out their faith in secret. Our heart in pray and giving is to express solidarity with those found in these immensely challenging situations.
