Missions
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Our Focus Areas
We have an outward vision at Stillwater Evangelical Free Church, that the Lord Jesus would be pleased to use us to advance His kingdom where His gospel has never been heard, to care for His image-bearers who need it most, and to contribute to the stewardship of faith for coming generations.
Unreached & Persecuted
I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written,
“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”
~ Romans 15:20-21
The "Least of These"
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
~ Psalm 82:3
Equipping & Developing
What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
~ 2 Timothy 2:2

Doug and Cheryl Conrad
ReachGlobal in Saitama, Japan
Doug and Cheryl are partnering with two Japanese Evangelical Free Churches who have been praying and planning for a new work in Nishi-Omiya for over 7 years. Once in Japan, Doug and Cheryl will join these two churches in praying, strategic planning, outreach events, English classes, and connecting with the community. When the new church building is complete, Doug will be preaching and both will be assisting in leading worship, evangelizing, and disciplining others to Christian maturity and leadership.
