Mission Work

Mission work is central to our identity. We get a sense of joy and fulfillment in serving families in need. We donate time and resources to these programs, trying to be all we can as the hands and feet of Christ in the world.

Angel Tree gives us the opportunity to share Christ’s love by helping to meet the needs of children and families in our community. Gift tags on the Christmas tree specify needs for gifts for those less fortunate in partnership with Bellevue Together.
