Missions: Reaching Out to the World
Midtown Church has a passion for reaching people for Christ, both in our community and throughout the world. Because of that commitment, we help support missionaries in the countries of Brazil, in South America, Cameroon, in Africa, Cuba, in the Caribbean, and Canada.

One Life One Chance Ministries
Arturo and Heather Molina are the Directors of Indigenous Ministry for OLOCM. They work together to develop programs, build relationships, create connections and find opportunities to broaden the reach of this ministry. One of Arturo and Heather’s main focuses is to come alongside the pastors of the valley to provide support through resources and relationship, empowering them to minister in their own communities. They also work closely alongside local families, connecting with groups from Canada and finding ways to provide continual support. During team seasons, Arturo is heavily involved in house build projects, and Heather is in charge of group outreach and program planning. Both Heather and Arturo also spend time in the office, Arturo in the area of finance, and Heather in the area of media and communications. With the addition of their son Titan in 2016, they now continue to minister as a family to the people of Mexico.
