Walnut Creek Global
Helping the church train, send, and support long-term workers overseas.
The 1040 Initiative
The task of the Great Commission is the task of the church. To assist in the ongoing financial support of overseas workers and better involve the church in this work, we started The 1040 Initiative.
About The 1040 Initiative
Background
In 2017, Walnut Creek Church introduced a two-fold vision. First, a desire to train, send and support 20 church members for planting churches overseas. Second, to provide monthly financial support for those 20 Goers. By God’s grace and through the generosity of the saints, we are nearing completion of that vision. By the end of 2024, we anticipate having over 20 Goers living overseas!
The Task of the Church
While we celebrate the work the Lord has done, we don't want to stop there. The task of the Great Commission is the task of the church, and we anticipate many more years of sending church members overseas. To assist in the ongoing financial support of overseas workers and better involve the church in this work, we are announcing the beginning of The 1040 Initiative.
The 1040 Initiative
The 1040 Initiative is an opportunity to gift $10.40 per month to the ongoing monthly support of Walnut Creek Church Goers. Partners in The 1040 Initiative will receive a quarterly newsletter. This newsletter will contain specific prayer requests for all our Goers, information on upcoming global events, helpful missions resources, and more.
International Prayer
As a church, we gather monthly to pray for the nations and those serving overseas. If you would like to join us, sign up for our email reminder below.

Walnut Creek Global Week
Global Week at Walnut Creek was an opportunity for members, regular attenders, and guests of Walnut Creek to hear from some of the top missions’ speakers in the nation. With Walnut Creek church members living overseas as long-term missionaries, it is important to understand the task these people are facing and the biblical convictions behind these endeavors.
