What unites us?
The Roanoke Area Global Impact Forum (RAGIF) aims to motivate and mobilize gospel-centered churches in the Roanoke area for mutual collaboration in order to advance global missions impact!
experience the movement.
What is RAGIF?
When Jesus gave the Great Commission to "make disciples of all the nations," we believe He meant "all." While it is important to have a plan to make disciples and build the church locally, it is equally vital for local churches to have a strategy to make disciples and build the church globally.
The Roanoke Area Global Impact Forum (RAGIF) is geared toward gospel-centered churches in the Roanoke area who desire to take the next step in global missions impact. There are no denominational or organizational affiliations - just a shared commitment to make disciples of all nations.
3.4 billion reasons why.
The Great Imbalance
Someone has once said that the greatest challenge to reaching the unreached is the lack of cooperation among local churches.
Here at RAGIF we are endeavoring to be that change.
We believe local church cooperation and collaboration is essential for effectively reaching the nations for Christ.
What does RAGIF provide?

Senior Pastor
“Every meeting connects me with other mission-minded churches in the Valley, and challenges me in a specific aspect of gospel advance.”
Isaiah G.
Adult Ministries Director
“RAGIF has been a tremendous encouragement to me as I look to mobilize and empower the people of God toward the joy of missions globally. The time we spend together is a great challenge, sharpening my perspective on global missions. The time together is a powerful boost to my heart, as global missions can easily fall to the side because of the urgency of the tasks of the day. I am encouraged by the community that gathers at RAGIF as they seek to meet me where I am, to help propel me to where God is moving.”
Rachel S.
Ministry Consultant
“RAGIF has been a great venue to meet other church leaders in the area who have hearts for missions. I'm so glad to connect to and be able to provide resources for so many like-minded believers through this forum, and I'm excited to see how this can grow in the future!”
