We believe in the importance of mission and we contribute time, material, and monetary donations to a number of mission activities globally, nationally, and locally.
Volunteers from our church participate in PADS, Red Cross, Labor of Love of the United Way, and Habitat for Humanity.
The newest Mission Board Project is Second Sunday Lunch, a free lunch for the community.
