Around the Corner....and Around the World! (Acts 1:8)
Women on Mission are involved in reaching others with the love of Christ at home through a variety of compassionate outreaches to our community. Times will be scheduled throughout the year to serve together at these ministries. For a list of ministry opportunities, see below.Through the ministry of prayer, cards/letters, and special projects, CBC missionaries are helped and encouraged, and we have a small part in sharing the gospel around the world. During monthly meetings we have the opportunity to hear from missionary women, to pray for special needs and to work on current projects.
Watch here for information on new sessions that will begin in September.
