Everyone, Anyone and Strategic Missions

It’s great being in a church, it’s great having fellowship. But when you go on a mission trip, it’s like, a concentrated dose of fellowship.  Every Christian is a missionary, and a main goal of the Mission Team at New Covenant is to provide opportunities for everyone to experience mission in some way. Whether through serving locally or traveling with an international team, everyone can experience the joy that comes as we share the love of Christ through missions.

    The Mission Team of New Covenant UMC is committed to providing opportunities for every Christian to participate in the work of Christ. We do this by providing three levels of serving.

    The basic level is that Everyone can be involved. Everyone can bring a canned good or non-perishable item for a food drive. Everyone can participate as we repair a house with Mustard Seed, or serve lunch at Skyline or Shiloh, or do any number of things around the Edmond and   Oklahoma City communities.

    The next level includes things that Anyone can do. These things require a deeper commitment of time and resources, and may include serving on a mission team to the Katrina area, or on an international short-term mission team.

    Finally, the top level involves developing Strategic Missions that reach particular people groups in ways that develop over a period of time. New Covenant supports several missionaries in places where we can send short-term teams to assist with long-term work, and see results of being in one place over time.
