Missions
A Sign of God's Presence in the World
The Mission Team supports missions in our conference, nationally, and internationally. This site will provide information, resources and contact persons that will enable pastors and laity to connect with our programs and projects. It is our hope to assist those in need; whether sick, hungry, helpless, and hopeless. We want to encourage, inspire, and provide opportunities for a better life to those who need help. There is hope in Jesus Christ and God's grace will meet all our needs.
