Local Missions includes various outreach events, ongoing care and prayer efforts, as well as faithful collaboration with area agencies and ministries. When there is an existing ministry meeting a need, we prefer to come alongside them with our resources rather than “reinventing the wheel.” We unashamedly serve–whether it is on a committee in a classroom or in a personal prayer closet–in the name of Jesus and lead out of such an evangelical conviction.
