Our Missions Team works to support the community and world through doing God's work. Our big events are collecting Teddy Bears for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and being a Red Cross Emergency Rest Stop.
The Emergency Rest Stop is a short-term rest area that is provided for evacuees as they continue on their journey. We provide water, light refreshments, restrooms and shower facilities, and a place for them to nap. The knowledge that they are in a safe environment provides comfort to the travelers. Members of the church help to staff and supply the Rest Stop. During evacuations from hurricanes Rita and Ike, several families were served at the Rest Stop.
The Mission Team also helps support Rainbow House. Mission Team members volunteer their service each month at the Rainbow House food pantry, which helps people in need. Team members pick up food from our sources, restock the shelves and freezers, make sure boxes are available, and distribute the food. A limited supply of jeans, coats, and blankets is also distributed. It takes everyone to make Rainbow House successful. Go to Rainbow House to learn more.
