Our congregation supports a wide range of mission activities. Some highlights:
- We give 10% of all undesignated funds to
Basic Mission Finance
in our
denomination. This fund literally touches people around the world to provide
food, educational facilities, emergency assistance, shelter and hope. Together
with all our sister churches in the United States and Canada, we can make a
difference.
- We collect quarters each week in our quarter tube for
Heifer Project International. When
filled, the quarters purchase a sheep or goat for a person who is in need
of this animal to begin a herd of their own to meet their economic needs.
The recipients, in turn, give the first female animal to another person who is
in need, so the miracle of giving goes on and on to others. So far, the
church as purchased two animals.
- We participate in Reconciliation collection (racial relations) and One Great
Hour of Sharing on World Giving Sunday.
- Our CWF has sold products from
SERRV
to benefits both the church and the artisans in emerging countries who
made the items.
- We have a good samaritan fund that can be dispensed to those in
need that are either within the church or show up at the door and are in
need.
- We were honored in 1999 as the top Disciples church in Arkansas in per
member giving to mission programs.
