Our church actively supports local, national, and international communities through mission and outreach efforts, much of it through hands-on involvement. This work is an important part of our church.
The Mission and Outreach Committee faithfully pursues its missions with the following objectives:
To maximize our resources and distribute funds that impact the areas of peacemaking and evangelism; to help bring relief to those who are ill or disabled; and to strive for the elimination of prejudice, poverty, drugs, and violence.
To invest our funds with organizations or groups demonstrating a strong commitment to ministry or efforts to inspire hands-on participation from our congregation and others in the community.
To advocate for outreach missions that transform lives on a permanent basis rather than charity handouts; focusing especially on local organizations where positive outcomes can be measured and observed.
