Faith in Action is a church-wide campaign that creates an outward focus and a heart to serve in our congregation. Faith In Action culminates in a Sunday where regular services are cancelled, and the entire congregation engages in service projects in and with the community.  Why do we have Faith In Action Sunday? 

Because we…

• Change focus to "others" instead of "ourselves"

• Raise awareness of local, national and global needs

• Create closeness and unity as our church members work side-by-side 

• Deepen spiritual commitment and church involvement

• Help every person realize that they can make a difference!
