Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
It is a wonderful opportunity to be in mission with God in God's mission field. Whether it be in our local community, in our state, around our country, or out of the country, God can use each of our talents for the mission field.

Food Pantry
The food pantry is open Friday afternoons from 2:00pm-4:00pm at the church. No background check is required.
