Our Missions Commitment

| Video Missions & Ministries, Part 1 |
Our missions program is a measure of both who we are and how much we care about the people of the world. Jesus commissioned us to reach out to local, state, and international needs in His name. With His commission in mind, we plan our support for mission causes using several criteria: intention, involvement, and impact.
- First, supported individuals or organizations must be fully committed, capable, and called to their work. There must be an intention to change the world for Christ.
- Second, our members need to be involved in the work we support financially. We invest our time and our hearts, not just our financial resources.
- Third, we regularly follow up to ensure that the missions' efforts we are supporting are, in fact, making a real impact.

Mission Accomplished:
A Year-End Report
When the year 2011 winds down to a close in a few weeks, the Missions Committee will have made contributions to projects all over the world. This year's contributions will have exceeded $154, 383.
There are seven people on the core Missions Committee. The first four members include Ann McAlpin, who serves as advisor and ex-officio member; Bill Torman, the former chairman; Pat Griffin, also serving in an advisory capacity; and Jean Rose, as chairman of the group.
The other three members of the core committee have provided outstanding leadership as Sub-Committee Chairmen. Sandy Moore leads Education, Sara Edwards heads the Global sub-committee, and Cheryl Robinson directs the Local Sub-Committee.
Each of the three sub-committees has numerous volunteers serving in the area of their passion. In total, thirty-four additional Chapel members have served on the Missions Committee in 2011. Your friends have participated to make this the great, productive committee that it is.
A very special thank you from me to Bill Torman, who has been my mentor throughout this whole endeavor. He has kept me on track, and given me invaluable advice.
I have been chairman of this special group for two years, and I thank you for the opportunity given to me to serve. I will miss the challenges it has presented, but I know God has great plans for my successor.
There is a place for you on this Committee -- especially if you have a passion for one of the many areas we cover. The sub-committee chairmen would love to add your name to their list of dedicated workers.
