Missions
We participate in missions because the Triune God created humanity out of love and for love, and He sends His people into the world to be ministers of reconciliation as He unfolds His plan for redemption and restoration.
Members: Courtney Zimmerman, Chair; Sarah Carlyle, Suzy Pech, Jim Tunnicliffe, and Mike Fieguth
The Mission Council exists to shape an ethos for missions based upon the sending initiative of the Father, the Incarnation of the Son, and the empowering of the Holy Spirit.

Pioneer Bible – The Welch’s

Micah will use his Master’s degree in linguistics to help these communities pave the way to literacy and Bible translation. His work in language study and alphabet development will allow more and more people to read and to have the Bible in their own language.
