Mission and Outreach Ministries

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 'Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me.'" - Matthew 25:31-40

Committed to caring for Christ, we joyfully commit ourselves to caring for the "least of these" - locally and globally. By supporting the following missions and ministries of outreach with our time, talent, and money, we hope to meet Christ and believe that we can offer the hope we have found in Christ to those being served. Please note, that the following is by no means a complete or static list, as it continues to grow and change depending on ministry needs.
