Doing missions is at the heart of what we want to be as a church. Our desire is for the phrase “Loving Jesus and Making Him Known,” to be more than a slogan. We want to model it by expanding the Kingdom of God.
In our mission endeavors we seek to minister and evangelize through many activities. Prayerwalks, personal evangelism, social ministries and strengthening existing churches are some of the ways we seek to do missions.
Psalm 96:3 "Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples."
Two community events each year in which we seek impact our local area are our Hope Rally and the Fall Fun Fest. The Hope Rally occurs outdoors across the street from our church on the main corner in Bemis. We set up inflatables, cook hotdogs, pop popcorn, have pony rides and all sorts of things and invite the public to come. Everything is free. We are simply trying to engage the community and let them see the love of Jesus and the excitement He provides in our lives.
The Fall Fun Fest was our Halloween opportunity. Again we had inflatables and games for the kids. The Hope Rally is for all ages…the Fall Fun Fest is kid centered and in our gym. It is a safe environment were kids can come, have a good time, get lots of candy and encounter Christ.
For 2010 we combined these two events into one large event. The HOPE Rally (CLICK HERE) was October 16 from 4-7pm. It wase held on the property across the street from the church on the Bemis Historical Society property.
