MINISTRY OF MISSION   

Matthew 25:35

When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me, and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of me, and when I was in jail, you visited me.
 
Calendar of Events
The ministry's goal is to be an emissary for Christ's love and compassion for those in need throughout the community, the nation and the world.

*******************************************************************************************

The ministry is not funded by the church's general fund, but accomplishes its service goals primarily through donations and fund raisers.  This gives the congregation the opportunity to fully share in the blessings of supporting and participating in Christian service to those in need.

The Ministry of Mission meets at the church on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm.  Visitors and volunteers are always welcome.
