Our church engages in many local, regional, national, and international missions throughout the year. There are always opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8

You will find mission initiatives on our events calendar. Contact Bonnie Abel (below) if you want help taking your next step.

Join a Mission-Oriented Church Group

Women: The women's ministry is actively involved in missions, such as fundraising and crafting items for charity.
Students: The New Life Student Ministry participates in several service projects and trips every year.
Everyone: The Care Ministry serves the Troy MC congregation by providing thoughtful care to those in need.

Support a Local Food Pantry

Each week, you can pick up an extra item or two at the grocery store and drop it off at your local food pantry, or drop it off at the church, and we'll take it to the Troy food pantry. Be sure to check the pantry's current needs before you donate!
You may also want to consider volunteering at a local food pantry. See the list below.

Volunteer with the Church

As our church expands its ministry and mission reach, there are always opportunities to serve in a ministry or volunteer for special events. Join our email list to get information about current needs and opportunities.

Current Missions

Angel Tree Ministry

This year our Angel Tree tradition continues with the following angels to choose from:
 
RED ANGEL: Gift Cards for Safe Families host families
BLUE ANGEL: Gift Cards for Ministries Unlimited
 
There are TWO deadlines this year:
· Safe Families gift cards are due back by Wednesday, December 10
· Ministries Unlimited gift cards are due back by Christmas Eve
 
Each Sunday you will find Christmas trees in both the Family Life Center and Sanctuary foyers adorned with angel ornaments. Each ornament represents an individual or family that you can bless this Christmas season!
 
This year, we will be collecting $25 gift cards for Safe Families host families from Panera, Chick-Fil-A, McDonald's, Walmart, Target, Aldi, Walgreens, or gas stations. We will also collect $25, $50, $75, and $100 grocery gift cards from Walmart, Schnucks, Aldi, or Pete’s Market for Ministries Unlimited patrons.
 
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Bonnie at bonnie@troymc.org. Thank you for giving generously to bless families in our community!
