Our Mission & Vision
“Go and preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words.”
Our mission committee, which is a major focus of the church, has been energized by many faithful and caring members who have heeded the words from Isaiah:
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: ‘Who should I send? Who will go for us?’I said: ‘Here I am. Send me.”
(Isaiah 6:8)Although led by a strong committee, many, if not most of our congregation, are involved in the work of the mission committee.

- free Community Dinners including a free Thanksgiving Dinner
