At Idlewild, our missions extend from our doorstep to the ends of the earth. We prioritize going over staying—serving our neighbors across the street, reaching communities across our nation, and sharing the Gospel across the globe where Jesus is not yet known. Through prayer, partnership, and personal involvement, we equip every member to fulfill our mission of developing disciples who impact the world for Christ. 

Mission Opportunities

Local Missions

Our mission work begins right here in Tampa Bay, where we serve our community with Christ's love. We encourage our church family to be "on mission" every day—in neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and beyond.
