Christ Church has a heart for Missions. Missions at
here are ministries
outside of our congregation on local, national and international levels to
fulfill the Great Commission. We do this in a variety of ways: evangelism,
discipleship, church development, education and the direct participation
of our members.
We currently sponsor missionaries in countries such as Nepal,
Ghana, Bangladesh, Germany and The Netherlands. We also support a
variety of missions here in the United States by providing support for a
number of organizations. Here in
Frederick, we support the work of the Religious Coalition for Emergency
Needs, CareNet Crisis Pregnancy Center, Central Maryland Youth for
Christ,
Young Life, the Frederick Rescue Mission, and many other wonderful
ministries.
See our Missionary
Directory for more information.
The family of Christ UMC takes seriously its mandate to bring Christ’s
message of salvation to the world. Members of our body have served in
Panama, Bosnia, Romania, Kenya, Greece, Ghana, Lithuania, Anguila, The Netherlands, China,
Mexico, and the Bahamas as well as North and South Carolina, Arkansas,
Alaska, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Michigan. And World
Changers is underway!
Missions is more than an emphasis or a program for our church family.
It is a way of life that engages every member, every small group, every
time of worship and prayer in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
Our active Missions Committee uses their budget to support Christ’s
work locally and globally. Members
of our Body have served with missions on five continents. The people
of Christ UMC are around the world and just next door; serving the Lord
and answering God’s call.
