Mission
Nekoosa
United Church
of Christ is committed to reaching
out to the world in ways that share the passion of Christ in a world that
needs both His Healing and Grace.
We promote a mission consciousness and conscience with the church. We
promote the understanding of and support of Our Church’s Wider Mission
throughout the church. We recommend to the church council what special
benevolence offerings shall be received and promoted within the church as a
whole. We supervise any local mission projects in the church. We make
recommendations to the church council for the expenditures of monies designated
for mission purposes from the Investment Earnings Fund.
Some of our local, State and World
Outreach funds go to:
