Missions and Christian Outreach
Ministry

We have supported short term missions in Mexico, Romania, Guatemala, Africa, Post-Katrina Louisiana, and rural Appalachia.

  
The 2009 Mexico Mission Team is described here.
 

We participate in the following active local missions and regional ministries. Volunteers are needed in all these areas, and we encourage you to choose one or more to which you can devote your heart. 

Local agencies and their needs are listed on the bulletin board in the Narthex. Your time commitment may be as little as 1-2 hours or as much as you can spare. These ministries would also appreciate donations of materials or money as well as your prayers. 

Please read this brochure (Opportunities To Volunteer) updated 9/4/09 and then contact your chosen ministries directly, or the church office, if you can help.
