A message from Panama Mission Leader, Ann Spaight:

If anyone has any questions about Panama, how to be part of the team, please

email me (Ann Spaight) and I will be happy to answer any of the questions that you have. It is definitely not too late to become part of our team! We are just forming and have room and tasks for everyone.

I have been blessed and privileged to be the Team Leader for the trips along with Rev. Janet Cavalier, our Mission Pastor. I have led the teams for the past 3 to 4 years. While we are in Panama, we have team members working on construction projects, doing medical education and testing, and offering Vacation Bible School to the children.

New Giving Portal

New and Improved Giving Portal!
You may have noticed that we began phasing in a new giving portal recently. It will make it easier to give to multiple areas in one transaction (like a special mission gift and your tithe). It works like an online shopping cart where you add items and then checkout.

NOTE: If you had an account on our old giving platform, you will need a new account to log into our new portal. You will get a letter with more instructions about your old account. In the meanwhile, please email Caitlin if you have any questions.
