Our Hands-On-Mission

Financial Support: The cost to run this service day is approximately $1,700.00. Donations are warmly accepted to cover these expenses.

Greenfield Supports…….

We believe that God loves everyone. Our faith is centered in Christ. His example of loving service compels us to live our faith. We do this by creating a caring community where all are welcomed and encouraged to join in worship, outreach, and mission work both near and far. We invite you to learn more about our mission activities and join in our service to others.
