CIM LEADERSHIP
CIM is a missions organization that is dedicated to assisting pastors and churches in coordinating short-term missions trips.
Since we believe the local church is the key resource to fulfill the Great Commission, we enlist, counsel, and guide pastors and churches to take members on short-term mission ministry trips in order to extend their ministries at home and abroad.
