Evangelism and missions are ways the message of God’s saving work is shared with the world. Just as God the Father sent Jesus, the church is sent into the world to serve and bless others. Our church family lives out this calling through three primary areas: community service, Christian education, and sharing the Gospel.
Community Service
We serve our local community through a variety of outreach efforts, including:
Hosting blood drives several times each year for the Red Cross
Participating in the annual Rise Against Hunger event and Memorial Day parade
Providing food assistance through our deacons and weekly food pantry
Maintaining a donation drop-off shed at our church for community contributions that support people experiencing homelessness
Ongoing financial support for local nonprofits as well as contributions to international charitable organizations
Christian Education
We provide opportunities for learning and spiritual growth for all ages through:
Sunday School
Vacation Bible School
Sharing the Gospel
We strive to make the message of the Gospel accessible to all who visit our church. Free Gospel message booklets are available at our outdoor bookstand for anyone to take. Food pantry patrons, blood drive donors, AA/NA guests, and other visitors have gratefully received these materials.
Mission and Evangelism Committee Initiatives
Our Mission and Evangelism Committee works to strengthen the community by directly supporting those in need. Recent projects have focused on assisting individuals experiencing homelessness through partnership with Destiny’s Bridge. With funding from a Presbytery grant, along with the time and talents of our congregation, we have been able to:
Donate and install two solar generators to power oxygen machines for individuals who rely on oxygen tanks. The solar panels also provide electricity for additional community needs, helping reduce overall expenses.
Build a mobile laundromat with a shower stall, providing not only essential services but also restoring dignity for those who use it.
Provide zero-degree sleeping bags and propane during the winter months to help protect against extreme cold.
Our goal is to love our neighbors through both word and action, reflecting the love that God has shown to us.
