The Mission Commission
Christ has called us to care for “the least of these” and to be Christ’s presence in the world. We work hard to communicate this need and encourage each other to follow Christ’s calling in mission work. There are vast needs here in south Florida we support “hands-on” as well as financially. Beyond our local community and nation there is a world in need of God’s love and care. We work to be the hands of caring, the voices of love and the hearts of compassion. For more information, please contact Patricia Lesesne or Michele Baurley, Co-Chairs, or check out Local & Global Missions

The Congregational Care and Nurture Commission
As a congregation we exist for many reasons, but our needs and goals are the same as those of the earliest Christians. We have a deep need to share; our faith, our needs, our hopes and dreams. We have a deep need to associate and participate; to belong to the group of people who strive to follow Christ, to work alongside others for the benefit of all. Deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ, we have a need to love each other, pray for each other and serve each other. "Your care for others is the measure of your greatness." -- Luke 9:48 Chair: Ruth Strasman
