As United Methodists, we share a calling to respond to the love of God by reaching out to those who live in darkness. We see the world as the place where we live out this calling through missions. In our caring and sharing, we bring the light of Christ into the darkness. You are invited to participate in missions through a variety of projects and programs. As you read about the many mission opportunities offered by our church, listen for God’s calling in your life and then join us as we make a difference in the world.
Mission Programs

We also have several church members who serve on the board of directors, operate as van drivers, and lead Bible studies for the mission.

Members of church share the afternoon with the children providing encouragement, faith, and a loving presence.
