“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 

(Acts 1:8)

As early as the Epistles of St. Paul in the New Testament, churches have responded to human suffering and to the pains of injustice by ministering unto “the least of these.” (Matthew 25:40)  Seeing how Jesus constantly met people where they were in their brokenness, local churches follow this example by meeting people and families in their brokenness in ways that bring hope and wholeness.  On one occasion, Jesus looked the disciples in the eye and said, “You are the light of the world.”  That sacred identity is inherited by every local church.  The ministry team for mission locates the present brokenness of the world and allocates funds or encourages voluntarism to bring light to bear on that darkness.

We witness to God’s love through partnering with others who are serving locally in Glastonbury, in Hartford and surrounding areas, across the country and across the world. Every year the congregation votes to allocate approximately 18% of budgeted expenses to support this mission work.
