MISSIONS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
There are many charitable organizations that vie for our attention this time of year. While their intentions may be good, East Ohio Missions seeks to develop relationships and partnerships that are healthy and seek justice for the recipients. The Board of Missions encourages all East Ohio Conference congregations to support our Advance mission partners!
Financial gifts may be made online or sent directly to the mission through their designated conference Advance Fund. If you have questions about any of these Christmas giving opportunities, please e-mail Melanie Thomas, administrative assistant in the Connectional Ministries office.
