Ministry Of Witness

Yes, we call ourselves MoWit.

What is it? Officially our purpose is:

To faithfully witness to the good news of Jesus Christ, to encourage discipleship of Jesus Christ and Christ’s Church, and to participate in the mission of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. in sharing God’s love with the needy.

What that means?

We reach out to strangers and show hospitality, promote church growth – in all areas of Christian life, interpret the mission of the PC(USA) in our congregation and community, lead and participate in all aspects of our mission support.
