outreach
An essential expression of our faith is to support charitable and mission efforts, locally and worldwide, with both our time and talents.
We are a committed Christian congregation from the Anabaptist and Mennonite tradition who actively support Mennonite Mission Network and Mennonite charities.
We are also committed members of our community, and it's common to find a volunteer from here donating their time to help our neighbors in Woodford County.
