MISSIONS

MISSIONS CELEBRATION!

On Saturday, Oct. 27 @ 5 p.m., we’ll be celebrating how God is moving through Stanwich to serve a world in need of hope and healing. We’ll gather for a program featuring spirited worship, inspiring testimony from our mission partners, and our featured speaker JR Woodward. JR—church planter, activist and author of Creating a Missional Culture — will be speaking about how each of us can be on mission in the times and places where God has placed us. There will also be a special program for children as well (5th grade and younger). 

 A dinner reception will follow, with the opportunity to learn more about our mission partners and their ministries.
