MISSIONARY
Sister Joan Strawder

The purpose of the Missionary Department is to be helpers together with our Pastor and ministers in bringing souls to Christ. We, as helpers make ourselves available to help and assist where and when necessary. We embrace that part of the CT Mission statement that says: “To provide support for the needy and to create a fellowship of love and unity”. It is our desire to minister where we find ourselves, to help, to encourage and to give comfort and support for the work of the ministry.
