We structure our service projects so that anyone who wants to get involved will be able to demonstrate their faithfulness and creativity. We provide opportunities for all to identify and utilize their spiritual gifts to provide hands-on service and ministries to others.

The Mission and Service Team provides on-going and short-term giving and volunteer opportunities throughout the year:

Hillcrest Ministries – sponsor a family in transitional housing

Blue River Rescue – clean up trash from an assigned section of the Blue River

Christmas in October – assist homeowners repair homes in Kansas City communities

Thanksgiving Turkey Drive – collect donations of money and turkeys for Harvesters

Project Lighthouse – provide needed items to Native American communities

Cropwalk – walking and raising money for hunger

Mission Trips – to Greensburg, KS; Joplin, MO; and South Africa

Christmas Offering – take a collection for one local charity , like the Children’s Place or Della Lamb Community Center; and one international charity such as Heifer International
