Supported Missions

Where Your Missions Pledge Goes

Our missions outreach is not funded out of our church budget. It is through your Missions Pledge giving and the wonderful Craft Circle Auction that the Missions Ministry of our church is able to answer God’s Great Commission. Your faithful support allows us to touch people’s lives here at home and around the world. With your help, Christ’s name is becoming known everywhere.
