Whether local or abroad, missions is something that we have become passionate about. There are countless people in this world who are in desperate need of food, clothing and shelter. Above these necessities of life, there is a great need for the Good News of God’s abounding love to be brought to all people everywhere. Help us reach out to those who truly are in need of Life.
Here are a few missions ministries that we are involved in.
