SBC Missions
We actively support more than 5,000 SBC missionaries through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and the Cooperative Program. Ten percent of our undesignated gifts go to the Cooperative Program each week. Our 2005 Lottie Moon Offering Goal will be $42,000. Go to www.imb.org to learn more about what Southern Baptists are doing around the world!
A note on Missions giving- our church supports three seasonal missions offerings for our Southern Baptist missionaries working around the globe: During the spring we receive the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions; in the fall we receive the Ray Roberts Offering for State Missions; and, in the winter we receive the Lottie Moon Christmas offering for International Missions. When you give a gift designated simply to "Missions" it will be used for the appropriate seasonal offering unless you specify otherwise on your envelope and/or check.

Direct Mission Involvement
We are actively involved in the Czech Republic, where we are working with our SBC International Mission Board to start a new work. We started short-term Mission Trips in 1997 and have completed 15 trips to the Czech Republic as of May 2006. These trips include showing the Jesus Film, leading conversational English groups, and encouraging our missionaries. We have an excellent partnership with the Campus Crusade team and are sponsoring a church plant in Kladno, a city of 72,000 just NW of Prague.
