Once a month we participate in mission projects so that we can put our faith into action and experience what it is like
to be God’s hands and feet.  We participate in projects such as helping with homeless shelters, food collections for
Shepherd’s Staff, visiting shut-ins, the Operation Christmas Child warehouse, and the Alcove.  We also participate in
a larger-scale mission project each summer, such as River of Life.  To support our mission work we are involved in
many fundraising activities throughout the year, including a balloon sale, various types of themed dinners, pumpkin
patches, car washes, etc. 

Specific missions we take part in annually include:

•  Mission Trip to Casa Samuel in Garcia, Mexico: A feeding a nurture ministry for children under the
  direction of local pastor Eva Zapata. The impoverished community of Garcia, Mexico includes approximately
  100 families with 300 children. Mission activities include daily Bible School and installation of home
  improvements for advanced functionality, such as electrical wiring, window replacement, and kitchens with
  running water.
• United Methodist Volunteers in Mission: Provides guidance, training, and placement for short-term
  mission volunteers in the Southeast Jurisdiction.
