All of our missions events are fund-raising only, as many of the ministries that we support are have COVID-induced in-person restrictions. Specifically, we continue to provide money for dinners once per quarter for the residents of the Ronald McDonald House and Family Promise.

If you would like to donate to any of these ministries, please either mail a check to our church with the ministry name in the memo line, or use our Online Giving tab above at the top of the website.
