Missions
Jesus prayed for his disciples and for all of us who would become disciples after them: “Father, as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” John 17:18
We impact the world by living out the message of Jesus Christ in our daily lives, and by being committed to sharing his life-changing message both locally and globally. This commitment is the lifeblood of our church, and it is manifested locally through our involvement with Habitat for Humanity and Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission-where church members reach out to homeless men, women, and children every Thursday night.
Globally, we support a variety of missionaries as well as regularly send intergenerational work teams from the congregation on short-term missions projects to serve throughout the world. In the past few years, teams have traveled to the Philippines, Ecuador, Malawi, Belize and Honduras. Additionally, each year our high school youth group spends their spring break in Mexico building houses for needy families.
