Global & National Missions

Global & National Missions

We are proud to be a part of worthwhile mission projects in our nation and around the world. Going back for generations, our congregation has supported God’s work beyond our local community. Starting back in 1871 a group of young girls in our church formed an organization called the Working Band. These young ladies did odd jobs and service projects to raise money that was used to send girls in Africa to mission schools. Here are some examples of some of today’s missions:

 

Operation Christmas Child

For many years at Christmas time our church has participated in filling shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  Members of our congregation contribute items to fill the boxes, then travel to Minneapolis, MN to sort the thousands of shoe boxes to get them ready to ship to children around the world.
