Opportunities to Assist:
The Mission Team acts from both a local and a global perspective, being sensitive to community, ecumenical, and United Methodist concerns as well as world events. Our outreach programs encompass the Frank Chapman Institue, Troy Area United Ministries (TAUM), the General Board of Global Ministries, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), Doors of Hope, Joseph’s House, and others.
Each year during the month of March we host “March Madness for Mission” where, on each Sunday, we lift up one of four local missions.
Opportunities to Advocate:
Members of the Missions Team study social issues in the community and the world. We educate the congregation about these issues in the hopes of stimulating us all to work for change – to create in our society something closer to the Kingdom of God. Some issues we have studied are drug and alcohol use, impaired driving, gambling, organ donation, landmines, energy conservation, etc. We aim to engage the greater congregation in issues of social and environmental justice.
