Part of our Purpose and Mission is to "Make Christ's love known to our neighbors and all nations". To help us fulfill this Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20), our Missions Committee oversees the following:
Missions participation - A partnership in evangelism; Our goal is that this becomes the attitude of the whole church as we work with the missionaries we support that are already in the field or hoping to go to the field soon. We hope to support their needs, write to them regularly and keep the church body up to date on their activities. It is our hope that each family in the church will individually adopt a missionary family to support.
Missions visibility — Understand the burden we all have collectively to reach the lost of this world; To spread God's word as a church and as individuals. To remind the body of the work missionaries are doing in the field day to day.
Promote Missions locally - Do our part to spread God's word locally.
-- Julie Lund & Al Schwider
We work to accomplish this by the following:
• Regularly writing to and praying for the Missionaries sponsored by our church and by individual families in our church body.
• Regularly educating and informing the members of our congregation about the needs of the Missionaries sponsored by our body.
• Researching and encouraging members to attend short-term missions opportunities.
• Recruiting and encouraging members for full-time Missionary service.
• Facilitating the Support of full-time Missionaries in the field, sponsored by our congregation.
• Providing evangelistic and outreach opportunities in our community.
• Holding the Annual Missions Conference
