Missions & Outreach


Our mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ!  In addition to determining which mission projects we support through our Bread Pans each Sunday, we also have a covenant relationship with a missionary from Mongolia, Helen Shepherd.  We lovingly support the North Kent Service Center by working monthly at the Center, collecting food weekly (with a massive food drive in October each year), with monetary donations, etc.  We support UMCOR's Crop Walk each year in the fall, Camp New Day (camp for children of incarcerated parents), and Habitat for Humanity of Kent County (with money, time, and food).  We also support youth and adult mission trips (ASP, GRASP, New Orleans, etc.).
