Partners In Ministry
Refuel Conference
May 1-3, 2026
Join us to discover how your church can evolve from outreach to partnership, from hospitality to discipleship, and from local impact to global mission through refugee ministry.
We have 5 Partner Churches and 10 Ministries on Campus.
We function as a family of churches. We gather for joint worship at least twice a year. We often have joint baptism services. We work together on outreach initiatives. We hope to bring our children and youth together more frequently in the future.
Bring Your Local Missions Team to Clarkston
Clarkston is one of the most diverse mission fields in North America, with refugees and immigrants from around the world now calling this community home. At Clarkston International Bible Church, we partner with visiting church teams to provide meaningful hands-on ministry opportunities that make an eternal impact. Whether your team is serving through community outreach, children’s ministry, refugee support, evangelism training, or practical service projects, your time in Clarkston will open eyes to the nations God has brought right here to our doorstep.
