Local Missions
Mission Macomb
In Chuck Colson’s book, Loving God, he states: “The church does not draw people in; it sends them out. It does not settle into a comfortable niche, taking its place alongside the Rotary, the Elks, and the country club. Rather, the church is to make society uncomfortable.” (page 222)
Although church programs are good and needed to edify believers, Jesus told us in Matthew 28 to go and make disciples. One program MACC uses to fulfill this command is Mission Macomb.
Mission Macomb organizes mission trips right here in our town that allow our church family to use their God-given gifts and talents to reach our community. While painting homes, repairing roofs, and building fences, MACC members reach out to those in need in Macomb. Jesus shows us examples such as this in the New Testament-meeting the physical needs of the people allowed Him to meet their spiritual needs.
