Purpose – The purpose of the Missions and Outreach Committee is to go out into the world to spread the gospel and to help those in need. There are a number of ministries that have been started over the years and still new ones popping up from time to time with various leaders.
**********************************************
Summer Coin Banks – We collect coins through our VBS program every year. We have continued to use the funds provided to directly help students in need within our community.
Holiday Help – We are once again offering holiday help to members of our congregation and the local community. The application is easily accessed through our Google account and is ready to use once again this year. Through the application we determine who needs to receive food baskets for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas and who needs additional help.
Emergency Assistance and Food Pantry – We help North East families through our Emergency Assistance Fund and through our Food Pantry.
Central Republic of the Congo WELL Project – In Spring 2021, North East Methodist worked with Jonathan/Donna Baker on the Central Republic of the Congo WELL Project, raising $712 to build a well.
Operation Christmas Child – Through Samaritan’s Purse, North East Methodist collects shoeboxes and fills these boxes with gifts including toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for children around the world. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.
