Missions Overview
We are a church committed to fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ:
Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation
Mark 16:15
Our congregation gives approximately one-third of our yearly budget to missions both here in the United States and abroad through faith-promise and designated giving.
We regularly provide opportunities for our members to minister via short-term missions and host a yearly Missions Festival to make personal connections between the congregation and our Faith Promise Missionaries.
