This team guides Zionsville Christian Church’s Outreach giving for local and global needs of others. It also provides promotional efforts regarding denominational Special Offerings during the church year.
The Mission Team Ministry is responsible for promoting the understanding and support of our commitment as a Global Mission Congregation to outreach, service to others, Christian unity, and evangelism.
Primary efforts include:
• Coordination of regular and ad-hoc outreach projects such as mission work trips, Habitat for Humanity, etc.
• Annual allocation of funds to outreach causes locally and to partners around the world.
• Promotion of annual Reconciliation, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Week of Compassion, Easter and Pentecost special offerings in support of national and global causes.
Through these and other efforts the team endeavors to contribute to mission education and support of global missionary activity, and to provide the congregation with opportunities to participate in outreach, justice advocacy, ecumenism, interfaith dialogue and evangelism.
The Mission Team of ZCC ( the church that “helps those far and near”)
There is an on-going need for people to go to a variety of work stations in the Katrina impact area. We have had two groups rebuilding homes in Louisiana. A group will be scheduled later in the year. When it has been scheduled, it will be posted here.
WORK: The clean-up phase is over. The need now is re-habing homes to make them livable again. This might mean drywall, roofing, windows or other repairs to the structure.
LODGING: We will sleep in the church. There are showers, washer and dryer. We will need to bring sleeping bags and air matresses.
FOOD: We are responsible for our own food. There are restaurants and grocery store that are open again so we will not need to transport any food. There is a kitchen in the church which is available for our use.
EXPENSES: The only expense will be our transportation and food.
WAYS YOU CAN HELP: People of various skill levels are needed. Some experience with carpentry and woodworking is helpful. Others can provide general help and assistance. Someone might want to volunteer to go and do the cooking. Others might want to help support the effort finacially by helping with our expenses or sending gifts to the people whose homes we are working on.
