Serving is a reflection of who we are as followers of Christ. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said, “…Whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Sunrise’s missions committee also has a mission, “For every member, a mission,” along with a vision to be “Externally focused, internally ablaze.” Our responsibility as a missions committee is to provide opportunities and support to each member as they seek to discover their part in serving the community and beyond.

Sunrise Missions

Starting in 2012 and beyond, the Missions Committee is adopting a task-focused team structure. While this specialization scheme may evolve as we learn, the following teams are envisioned:

  • Communication - responsible for publicizing mission opportunities and fund-raising events, as well as ensuring the widest possible celebration of missions accomplished.
  • Opportunities - responsible for finding opportunities (maintaining contacts and partnerships), providing background info and resources for sponsored trips, and maintaining contact and care for long-term missionaries.
  • Education - provide on-going information to the congregation, small groups, etc. Assemble and present training on selected topics. Maintain educational materials, library, etc.
  • Finances - formulate and submit budget requests. Receive budget allocation and assist committee leadership with prioritization, reallocation, and funding alternatives.

Sunrise UMC has a firm and continuing commitment to missions as we "Serve Christ by Serving Others." If you feel the call of the spirit and see a fit for your spiritual gifts, contact Teri Alcorn, teria@sunriseumc.com, to get connected to this life-changing work.
