Missions Giving
The Missions Committee is responsible for making visable to the congregation the world-wide interconnectedness of the body of Christ. We believe that God calls us to love and care for our neighbors near and far, and to share our abundance with them. The Committee disperses a yearly budget of approximately $49,000 to national and international bodies of the UCC and educates the congregation about the work of these bodies. We also share our resources with various local non-profit organizations and ministries. We encourage individuals to participate in supporting these partnerships with both funds and volunteer involvement. For more information, please visit our website or contact Gay Harter or Sunessa Schettler.
