Local Missions
Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45; Acts 10:36-38). He did this by meeting all kinds of needs—spiritual and physical. A critically important component for any church that wants to take following Jesus seriously is to show the love of Christ in tangible, helpful ways and be a blessing to our surrounding community, in general, and those in need, in particular. It has been said that “good deeds are the road over which the good news travels.”
One of our core values is “Serving Others.” This does not just apply to serving one another inside our church, but we follow Jesus’ example and command to serve others outside the church as well. One of the goals of the Local Missions Team is to help people find a place to use their gifts. If you want to help transform our community and our city, contact Pastor Steve Sage.
