| About the Missions Program |
|
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name;
make known among the nations what He has done,
and proclaim that His name is exalted.” (Isaiah 12:14)
The Missions Council administers the missions program, including
management of funds budgeted and/or designated for missions. This
is guided by our core values
and includes:
-
activities which stimulate support of mission causes based
on prayer.
-
promotion of opportunities for members of the congregation
to participate in mission projects, including deputation trips
and local volunteering.
