Mission Ministry Team

The Mission Ministry of St. Luke Union Church provides quarterly financial support to local missions and not for profit organizations.  In addition, special offerings are given several times during the year which also supports local missions.  We also support the worldwide missions of the Presbyterian Church, USA and United Church of Christ.

In 2009, the Mission Ministry launched its own mission called NECESSITIES.  NECESSITIES is designed to provide undergarments to members of the homeless community in Bloomington-Normal.  The ministry has been expanded to provide items for Neville House, a domestic violence shelter located in the twin cities.  In addition to gifts provided by the congregation, NECESSITIES is funded through monies received from our recycling program.  St. Luke Union Church offers a trailer for newspaper and magazine recycling as well as participation in recycling aluminum beverage cans.  The recycling program is also promoted within the community.

The Mission Ministry members meet 4 times a year to select quarterly donation recipients.

St. Luke Union Church will be the local host church for The CROP Walk in 2010 and 2011.  The walk is held in October of each year and supports worldwide and local foodbanks.
