Mission Work Area

And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” - Matthew 25:40

Mission Work Area

The purpose of Mission Work Area is to live our faith through service by:
- educating the congregation about what it means to be the church in mission
- involving the congregation in mission projects/agencies/concerns
- helping mission agencies financially and with volunteer support
- increasing giving of our congregation to missional concerns
- encouraging small groups and age level ministries to participate in missions.

Initiatives We Support

Cookie Caper

Celebrate community and generosity each spring by baking, sharing, and purchasing homemade cookies. Proceeds are used to purchase supplies for mission activities and trips.

International Christmas Market

Church attendees drop off requested items in collection bins on our campus, and volunteers deliver the items to NETWORK on a weekly basis.
There are a variety of volunteer roles each week, Monday-Saturday. More information is available on the Network Volunteer Webpage. Please direct questions to Jayce Graham at .
