In addition, we encourage and facilitate short-term missionaries. Recent missions destination include Syria, China, Ethiopia, Mexico and Rumania. Each year a "Christmas in July" event raises money to provide a Christmas bonus to our missionaries.

Also, mission awareness events are provided periodically. The Deacon of Missions and Missions Committee meets regularly to promote missions. Likeminded people are invited to participate. Our budget for missions is $75,075.  This is the largest budget category after staff expenses. It represents 10% of our total budget. Giving is done through the general fund.
