2016 Mission Teams

Thank God for the mission teams that have come and those yet to come this summer to work with International Ministries and language churches. Rev. Mike Noles brought a group of 80+ to work with two of our churches and in our international communities as well as share a worship service with seafarers. During their week with us, they were able to see 41 people come to personal relationships with Jesus.

2016 Benefit Golf Tournament

A very special thank you to Art Burroughs and James Mercer for leading out in our annual golf tournament. Also, thank you to all who supported this event to raise needed funds for International Ministries. This year, a total of $9,576 was raised. We came just short of our goal of $10,000. If you did not get a chance to help, you can still send in donations to help reach our goal.
