Missions & Outreach PDF Print E-mail

Missions & Outreach are important to the life of John Knox. We recognize there are many local, regional and global needs, so we strive to be strategic in addressing as many needs as possible.

 

Outreach opportunities

 

Every year, we are proud to send out an Adult Mission team over Spring Break with a large variety of locations and tasks. In the past, we have done Disaster Relief in the Gulf, building projects in Mexico, and a mission to Costa Rica. Additionally, we send a Youth Mission team to MountainT.O.P. in Tennessee every summer. Click here to find out more about our last Adult Mission Trip to Houma, Louisiana

The vibrant, servant-hearted nature of our church is reflected in the amount of local outreach we do every year. Check out the current status of our local outreach opportunities below:
