both in the
local community and around the world.
Service in Mission Team
Vision: To
provide personal participation through learning, active
participation, and financial support of our missions and
ministries at home and abroad.
Mission:
The Service in Mission Team of the Faith United Methodist
Church is devoted to developing a year-round program of
education in support of domestic and foreign missions.
We work to uncover community concerns and encourage the
congregation to become involved, serving as a mission
liaison within and beyond the local congregation. We
promote opportunities for enlistment of qualified persons
to apply for service as missionaries. We make certain the
congregation is aware of the financial needs of missions.
The Service in Mission Team
is composed of seven “in-house” programs which address
current needs in the domestic and foreign areas. The
“In-House” programs are listed below.
The Service in
Mission Team also addresses and undertakes special mission
projects during the year. These projects can vary from
relief help in the event of natural disaster to helping
needy school children attend summer camps.
The Mission
Council is made up of the Chair, Associate Chair, and
Coordinators with their assistants, of the seven
“in-house” programs. The council meets several times each
year to consider the various agencies and missionaries to
be supported and selects where the Easter and Christmas
offerings are distributed.
The Service in
Mission Team helps support about 10 domestic agencies and
1 domestic missionary, 2 foreign agencies and 5 foreign
missionaries or educators. Some domestic agencies
supported in the past were:
·
Bishop’s Fund for Children (LOT) · Canton Calvary Mission
· Community Christmas · Faith Kitchen
· Flat Rock Children’s Home · Flood Relief/UMCOR
· Habitat for Humanity · Interfaith Campus (Stark Kent)
· Thom & Chris Denman (Red Bird Mission in Ohio)
The foreign
agencies and missionaries supported are located in 4
different countries in Africa, Asia, and South America.
