Mission Giving

Committed to generosity, 11% of all of the church’s income goes to financially supporting mission. Much of that goes directly to our mission partners. How those mission partners are identified and how funds are allocated is governed by the Mission Giving Guidelines adopted by Session and the Generosity Ministry.

This Year’s Recipients

As we work to support God’s Mission in our wider community, the Generosity Ministry will reach out to the congregation bi-annually to get congregational input about which organizations to fund through our Mission Giving. When evaluating these opportunities, the Generosity Ministry seeks to follow the Mission Giving Guidelines. This year’s recipients are listed below.
