Home / Missions
Watchword: Matt. 22:37-39 NIV
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
Focus: WMU equips individuals to understand, embrace, and live the mission of God.
We have five strategic purposes:
- Pray for and give to missions
- Do missions
- Learn about missions
- Develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle
- Participate in the work of the church and denomination
We seek to accomplish these purposes by leading the entire church in missions involvement as well as different ministries. It is our hope and prayer that many will join in one or more ministries to help meet the needs of other people.
