There will be opportunities to work at the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Center (OVC), the local community, the mission hospital, the church and the school. Construction skills are a plus but not required. Cost of the trip will be around $3500 (includes round trip airline tickets from Charlotte, sightseeing safari, lodging and most meals). An informational meeting will be held Wednesday, January 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the church. Contact Fred Coates for more information about the meeting or the trip.

Local, Regional and International Mission

We seek to live out Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission by serving others in His name.  Some of the work we are engaged in is:

• Scouting - We sponsor Cub Pack 166 for boys ages 6-10 and Boy Scout Troop 166 for boys 10-18 years old, both National Quality unit award winners.  Girl Scout Troop 591 and Brownie Troop 778 also meet at the church.

• Mooresville Christian Mission.  Whether participating in a food drive, volunteering at the mission or providing financial assistance, there is always something that can be done.
