Who We Are
|
The purpose of the Mission Committee is to prayerfully support local, national, and international missions using our financial, material, and human resources and in doing so, share the love, grace, and compassion of Jesus Christ. We made the commitment to become a Matthew 25 church by embracing congregational vitality by challenging people to deepen their faith and get actively and joyfully engaged with the community and the world.
We pledge to embrace one or more of these three areas of focus:
- Building congregational vitality - Dismantling structural racism - Eradicating systemic poverty We live out this commitment in our life together, our engagement with the community, and in creative partnerships with other congregations and ministries in our region and worldwide. |

DAZZLING DONATION DAYS!
Dazzling Donation Days are coming up on Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Help us fill the donation truck with gently used clothing, shoes, household items, toys, books, and other reusable goods. Please note that furniture cannot be accepted. Proceeds from the donated items benefit Washington City Mission, helping provide for individuals and families in need.
In years past, our congregation and community have done an incredible job filling the truck with donations, and we'd love to do it again! Let's keep up the great work by cleaning out our closets, gathering our gently used items, and filling the truck to the brim with generosity for our neighbors in need.

AGAPE Training Center Fundraiser
|
As we celebrate the journey toward 250 years of ministry, we continue our tradition of sharing God’s love beyond our walls. We are raising funds to build the Agape Training Center in Uganda, a place that will provide technology and tailoring training so individuals can learn valuable skills, become self-sufficient, and support their families.
Our goal is $6,000, and you can help make this vision a reality! As we honor our past and look toward the future, your support helps extend our mission and make a lasting impact. To donate online, click the button below and select "Agape International." For cash donations, please put your donation into the envelopes available at the church and drop them off in the office. |

Your donations go towards the purchase of a "Brick." Each brick is $10 (or you can donate $20 for a window block). Once you have purchased a brick, you can place it onto our miniature model in the Sanctuary! Or, you can purchase a $2.00 Sarris Chocolate Bar in the church office. Every contribution helps lay more bricks on the foundation! Thank you!

Living Waters Church Mission
We have continued to partner with the amazing Pastor Emmanual Chirambo at Living Waters Church in Malawi. We send him money we raise to help build pumps that allow life-saving water to reach villages that do not have access to any. He also helps with orphans and widows in his orphanages.
Please feel free to watch this video that Emmanual sent to us to show how your donations impact their population. To donate directly to this cause, click the button that says "Donate." Thank you! |

Washington City Mission
We are blessed with our beautiful building and convenient location - and seek to use those blessings in a way that provides for help, healing, and wholeness for the people of our community. Off of Marshall Rd. we have a bin for clothes and shoes in the parking lot. You can drive up to the bin at any time to donate clothes.

We are proud to have Meals on Wheels operate out of our kitchen 5 days a week, year-round, providing healthy meals delivered to the door of neighbors who are unable, for a variety of reasons, to cook and prepare meals for themselves.
We are also grateful to supply a place for Alcoholics Anonymous to meet for weekly support and encouragement, as we prayerfully hold up those who are so bravely fighting for recovery. |
