Fulfilling the Great Commission
One of the ways we work together to fulfill the Lord’s great commission is by participating in a mission pledge fund. We pledge the amount of money we are willing to give to the fund above our tithe and we give it regularly. The fund is used to help cover the costs of the mission trips taken by our folks throughout the year. In cooperation with each other, we have a part in touching the world from our home base in Greer, SC.
