About the Missions Program
"Gives 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. We generously support over 32 missionaries and mission organizations at this time! We welcome new and experienced council members to further his plan locally, nationally and globally with us. This is guided by our core values and includes:
- Activities which stimulate support of mission causes based on prayer.
