MISSION

Faith's Mission team involves church members who have a heart for service to both our local church community and the worldwide church community. The focus of the team is to serve and share Christ in a variety of ways.

Mission Projects

Faith’s mission focus is three fold. We focus on helping those in our congregation who have a special need. The next layer is outreach to our local community and lastly we reach out to our world. The purpose of the Mission Team is to serve and share Christ’s love. These are some of the local and global mission projects the mission team sponsors each year:

Living Nativity

The Mission team is responsible for the presentation of our annual Living Nativity during the second weekend of each December. This event is considered our annual Christmas gift to the Omaha community.

This event depicts a drive-through scene in Bethlehem on the night of Jesus' birth, complete with a cast of human and animal characters. We even have a live camel!

The Living Nativity is an annual opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with believers and non-believers alike, with the hope that non-believers will discover a new way of life that includes Christ.

Special Offerings

The Mission team sponsors four special offerings during the year, with the proceeds going to the Disciples of Christ headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. The funds we collect are pooled with dollars collected nationwide to assist groups like Church World Services and fund the Disciples of Christ seminary students and missionaries.

These are the special offerings we collect:

Special Offering dollars also help fund disaster relief around the world and in our own country, and provide financial support for promoting peace and racial unity. Faith's annual budget also includes a tithe to D.O.C. headquarters for discretionary distribution to many agencies.
