Missions


To connect people to serve in church activities locally; to train/disciple people in Biblical foundation and Great Commission mindset so they will grow in their relationship to God; to send people out to reach those who matter to God in purposeful activities of serving them locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally using the gifts God has given them, thus becoming an Acts 1:8 church. These actions will lead people to genuinely worship the one true God.

OUR PURPOSE

...to mobilize people into missions. We will cast vision, tell stories, provide information, provide direction and celebrate successes.

LEGACY'S MISSION TEAM

The Mission Team here at Legacy consists of 6-10 regular attendees of the church. The team usually meets at least once a month, more often as needs arise.

If you are interested in being part of this team, contact the Team Leader, Anne Newman, at anne_newman@verizon.net.
