Welcome to the Neighbor Team!
- Leaders: Lora Snyder
- Purpose: Engaging our city with the love of Jesus through volunteering our time and talents to serve others. The neighbor team works jointly with the nations team to do missions local and globally. Our current emphasis is supporting local foster families and caring for the needs, both spiritual and physical of foster children.
Please contact Lora Snyder at 291-5731 if you would like to join the team. Responsibilities include monthly meetings, and help in planning the Missions Commitments and Missions Celebration Sundays. Many missions opportunities locally and globally are available to be involved with. We’re also looking for prayer warriors! We need people to team up with us and pray for our missions partnerships.
The nations team partners with the neighbor team and both are funded by the annual missions offering in November. They meet together usually monthly and work to support coordinators of each of the local and global mission partnerships.
If you would like to be a part of the neighbor team, contact Lora Snyder at: 291-5731 or by email
