As disciples of Jesus Christ and empowered by God’s Spirit, we have true freedom to love and serve God and other people. Our Mission Team leads our efforts to engage in several local, regional and international mission efforts. In addition to the ones mentioned below, we also participate through our connectional giving in the mission efforts of our district, conference and denomination.
Head Start Child Support. Our congregation has adopted a child in the Head Start program, providing support and supplies for the child.
Interfaith Hospitality Network. We support the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), a ministry which helps homeless families in the greater Johnson City area. IHN is an ecumenical ministry using area churches to house these families for one week at a time as they work to find new jobs and homes. As a support church, we are responsible for certain days, cooking dinner, providing people to serve the meal and offer hospitality to spend the night at the church with the families.
Rockhold Food Pantry. Throughout the year, we collect food and money to support the food pantry maintained at Rockhold UMC.
