Step Up, Step In, And Get Involved!

No Matter Where You Are In Your Faith Journey – We Want You To Serve With Us!

Getting involved with missions at Lebanon MC is easy! We have many different types of missions which present many different options in terms of how you might serve. Some people like hands on projects, others enjoy interacting with others, while others prefer to cook or sew. Everyone can find their niche to serve in LebMissions.

“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.”

Matthew 20:26-27

God expects Jesus’ followers to care for others, especially the “least of these.”

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Matthew 25:40

Lebanon Methodist mission team members organize and equip the church’s efforts in supporting mission outreach locally, regionally, and globally. Its purpose is to be the guiding force of the church’s role as a mission-oriented congregation. We coordinate mission efforts, educate and inform the congregation regarding missions, research and recommend mission opportunities, and oversee mission projects, teams, and programs.
