Outreach
Our parish is a generous one that reflects the heart of Christ to a broken and dying world. Jesus commands us to “go into all the world and preach the gospel”. And also, through his prophet Micah, compels us to “do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with our God.” The Missions Committee works to match up the commands from scripture with the missions budget, while reflecting who we are as a parish.
The Missions Committee is Adam Barger, Ro Seaman, Brandon Nester, and Chris Dausman. If you are interested in joining or would like more information on Incarnations many Outreach Programs contact Chris Dausman.
