Though our church building is nestled in the woods of Woodinville, our congregational focus on mission and service is much wider. We are currently forming a Mission/Witness Ministry Team:
- to lead the congregation through a process of discernment regarding the missions we are called to participate/support
- to engage the congregation in mission participation
- to provide intergenerational short-term mission opportunities
- to promote and educate the congregation regarding the four annual Presbyterian Mission Offerings
Serving Tent City
Serving the residents at Tent City has been a wonderful experience for everyone who had a chance to help.
