The Wilson Park Christian Community Church Missionary Ministry strives to impact the church body and the community with needed and caring service that will encourage some wayward soul to unite with Jesus Christ as the personal Savior. A true Missionary has a deep love towards people's needs. Caring for and witnessing to others is an important duty of a Christian.

The Missionary ministry provides ongoing contact with members of the Wilson Park C.C church through visits, telephone calls, and a card in the mail when they know one of our members are sick and shut-in. The Missionary Ministry continuously seeks to save souls who are outside of the arc of the church walls by spreading the Gospel message of salvation through many relatable acts.
Our Missionaries reach out to the community by feeding the hungry and bereaved, providing school supplies for needy children, and providing clothes to those who may be without. We have been blessed with strong leaders over the years which include Deaconess Matlean Manns, Elder Elizabeth Wimbish, and Mother Jean Causion. |
