Cedar Mill Bible Church (www.cmbc.org) in Portland, OR. They are a missions Al church with very strong support of both local and global missions service. They are the home church of Luis Palau and have several missions focus areas (Nigeria, Kazakhstan, and India). They support individuals from their church and others that have a connection to their church. They also
serve their missionaries by providing them with housing when they are back in the US through the missions house located near the church. Most of their elders and pastors have gone on frequent trips overseas to visit their missionaries and they have a special team (Barnabas Team) set up to support and pray for each of their missionaries which meets at least monthly. Most of those Barnabas Teams also do visits overseas to their missionary frequently and provide great encouragement and connection. CMBC also has a FOM (Friends of Mission) group that meets monthly to pray for the missionaries and they are always coming up with creative ways to engage with the missionaries and keep the whole church connected with what the church is involved with missionally both locally and globally. The church recently started offering Missional Outreach grants to members of the church who want to try new creative outreaches. CMBC has planted churches locally, and has given literally millions of dollars to global missions work over the years. They have also hosted conferences for other churches and individuals who want to meet together to collaborate on specific geographic focus areas. CMBC has also been very involved over the years in the big Northwest missions conference “Mission Connexion” (www.missionconnexion.com) and they are always very open to see how God is going to use them next!
Black Rock Church, Fairfield, CT
Missions is part of the DNA of the church. They have had a dynamic, annual week-long missions conference every year for 60 years. Annual Faith Promise specifically for missions separate from the general budget. Great mix of local, international and least-reached outreach. Excellent care and involvement with those they have sent.
I will like to know more about the mission activity in Nigeria

I would agree with Cedar Mill, Black Rock and Westover. Great Missions churches. I would add Cedar Springs Pres. in Knoxville, Austin Stone Church in Austin, TX, Trinity Church in Lansing, MI, Sojourn Church in Louisville as well as Southeast Christian in Louisville. Lake Ave. Congregational in Pasadena. Emmanuel Faith Comminty Church in Escondido, CA. Heritage Church in Westerville, OH is a church to watch as their Pastor bleeds missions similar to Black Rock.
