MISSION COMMITTEE

The Mission Committee seeks to provide concrete ways for the members of our congregation to respond to God’s love in Christ through ministry and service in His name to the world beyond our own church.

Specifically, the Mission Committee:

Seeks ways to enhance and develop congregational awareness of the work of specifically Christian ministry beyond the walls of the Church at home and worldwide, both PC(USA) General Mission endeavors and those not related to our denomination.
Plans and supervises separate mission appeals and special mission offerings as authorized by Session.
Sets guidelines and standards in evaluating and selecting mission projects and causes for support by the church, in keeping with the overall mission of our church.
