FOREIGN AND HOME MISSIONS - Our missions budget for 2006 of $153,830 goes to support 81 missionaries and mission organizations that are committed to spreading the gospel throughout the world. A complete list of ministries supported is available in our missions directory found in the church lobby. MISSIONS TRIPS - Each summer, high school teens who have passed through a qualifying and training process are sent to serve for a week to ten days with one of our missionaries in ministries such as Vacation Bible School, church services, literature distribution, and other evangelistic outreaches. Past missions trips have been made to such areas as Trinidad, inner-city Philadelphia, and French-speaking areas of Louisiana. We hope to eventually send some adult groups to help in ministry and/or building projects. MISSIONS CONFERENCE - A yearly Missions Conference is held to challenge the church in regard to world evangelism. The Conference consists of a special speaker on missions, reports from missionaries we support as well as those representing new fields (to expand our vision), an international banquet, and personal opportunities to get to know the missionaries better. MISSIONS OFFERING - A missions offering is received each month to help with a special project of one of our missionaries. This offering is over and above our budgeted missions giving and provides us opportunity to share in a significant way with the special needs of our missionaries. Examples of recent projects have been: the purchase of a truck for a missionary doctor in Haiti, the building of a student Center at a Bible College in Bradley, WV, relief effort in New York City following the attacks on the World Trade Center, and funding for the Bible In The Schools program in a local elementary school.
