MISSIONS

In response to God’s amazing goodness to us, we give the first portion (around 20%) of all incoming monies to a variety of missions here and around the world. Ministries we currently support include:

• Love in the Name of Christ (Love INC)
• Chaplain Randy Jones with Gallatin County Sheriff’s Department
• Yellowstone Presbytery and Reverends George and Kathy Goodrich
• A couple in Central Asia – Youth with a Mission (YWAM)

• A youth ministry in inner-city of Dallas – Youth with a Mission (YWAM)
• Two couples with TransWorld Radio
• Military Bible Sticks (Faith Comes by Hearing)
• One Great Hour of Sharing (disaster relief, hunger programs, and self development of people)

Regular offerings enable us to support these ministries. We also receive designated gifts that go over and above in support of God’s work around the world.

OUTREACH

Throughout the year we reach out to the community and the world through a variety of ministries.

The Youth Ministries host a variety of events such as:

• Weekly Events: Gatherings like WW.Kids, Youth Group, and Bible study groups are always open to community.
• Summer Camps: In the summer we send a number of community kids to a variety of camps assisting with funding, transportation and camp supplies.
• Summer Service: Youth group engages in service projects and mission trips in the summer.
• Community Service: Youth raise money and collect food for the food bank through an annual planned famine each spring.

The Adult Ministries also hosts several community service projects including:

• Love INC Personal Care Pantry:  We are blessed to partner with Love INC and to serve as a partner in supplying and distributing many personal care products from tooth paste to laundry soap, to toilet paper and deodorant, etc.  These packages are distributed 6 times a year to those who have been cleared with Love Inc to receive this assistance.  Call love INC at 587-3008  for an intake and an appointment to receive your personal care package.
• Christmas Care Baskets: Each year with the help of several community partners, we assemble new clothing, toys, outerwear and a week or more worth of groceries for individuals and families  in need of some encouragement in this important season.  In recent years, by the grace of God, we’ve been able to come along side around 50 families including nearly 200 individuals each year.  Please call the church office at 284-6961 in early November to place your name or someone you love on our list or to join our team of awesome volunteers.
• Helping Hands Fund: Assists with small short term needs of families and individuals throughout the year.
• AA Group: We are home to an AA group that meets in our building on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Contact us for times or name of a contact person.
