Youth Mission Trip Stock Sales...
Stock Certificate ~ youth mission trip
Your investment in their trip will allow the Youth to travel beyond the church walls to McDowell County, West Virginia. There they will serve one of the poorest counties in the United States by rebuilding and sharing the love of Christ.
You can purchase your stocks outside the Sanctuary and in the back of the Great Hall before and after the church services. Stockholders will be invited to a special dinner to thank them for their investment and hear about the ways we served the community.
