The purpose of the Mission Ministries Committee is to identify programs and activities that allow members of Bethesda to care and provide for the needs of others. The committee focuses on the needs of those outside of our church, in our community and the world. More specifically, the committee identifies mission programs and determines the level of support that is to be offered to each. A goal of the committee is to raise awareness of mission needs and to encourage the congregation to become actively involved.
