Welcome to Mission Outreach!
We serve and obey God’s commands to care for the poor and the sick, and to serve the community. Our goal is to involve all members of the congregation in mission work. Please explore the missions we support, our recent news, and our upcoming events!
One amazing thing about Christians – and MVPC members in particular – is our willingness to reach out and help others, even when we ourselves are in need. Now is a good time to remember Jesus’ admonition in Luke. Local charities are in need of help (financial or supplies). Some for you to consider: Three Square Food Bank threesquare.org; Salvation Army salvationarmysouthernnevada.org and Family Promise fplv.org. You can find more information about supplies they need or how to donate on these organizations’ websites.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING CARE OF GOD’S PEOPLE AND CREATION.
Due to the building construction, we will be PAUSING all of our donation collections for Project 150, Westminster Food Bank, or any miscellaneous collections such as eyeglasses.
A new collection space will be designated once construction has been completed. Thank you for your support.
