CBF Offering for Global Missions
During the month of November we invite you to consider giving towards the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship's Offering for Global Missions. The financial support of this offering goes towards CBF Field Personnel who are working around the world to build strong relationships with their friends and neighbors while also sharing the transforming love of Jesus Christ. There are dedicated giving envelopes located in the pews or you can donate online here.
