GENERAL MISSION

Want to help make a difference in the world?

The General Mission Committee works in close cooperation with the Stewardship and Finance Committee in interpreting the General Mission of the Church to the congregation.  This committee keeps the congregation well informed of the involvement of the Presbyterian Church in mission activities.

The responsibilities include coordinating the fund-raising activities of the two annual General Assembly Special Offerings, One Great Hour of Sharing during Lent, and the Christmas Offering during Advent, and recommending monetary goals for these offerings; gathering information about mission activities of the Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly and disseminating it to the members via bulletin boards, newsletters, and church bulletins; planning field trips for the congregation to visit mission projects; inviting guest speakers to discuss mission projects at one or more adult seminars; and recommending designations for the Grant Package.  In other words, this committee coordinates mission activities of the Congregation beyond the local area.

Some things the General Mission Committee is working on:  Operation Christmas Child and the Christmas Joy Offering which will be collected during Advent.
