LOCAL MISSIONS

Growing in Love for the World

You’re invited into the family business!

Jesus made his heavenly Father’s business clear in “the two Greats” – the great Commandment, and the Great Commission.   The great Commandment is to love God and each other.  The Great Commission is to make disciples and teach people to follow Jesus.
We’re a small church that has big ambitions to do our heavenly Father’s business.   Here’s how you can get involved.

Operation Christmas Child

What difference can a shoebox make?  When it’s filled with a little love in the form of practical -and a few fun – gifts, and sent to a child in great need – a small box makes big difference.   The gospel of God’s love expressed in Christ goes with shoe boxes all over the world.  It all starts in churches just like ours.
