Our Missions and Outreach Committee seeks to take our members outside the walls of the church and meet our neighbors through service, from feeding the hungry to building homes for the homeless to reading with a child struggling to learn English. We come to know each other through working together, but more importantly, we come to better know Christ by getting to know all his children.
