Tahoe Community Church began as a mission, and we continue to put importance in the area of missions. Missions is what churches do in keeping with the commission of Christ to extend their witness and
ministry beyond themselves to bring all persons to Christ and to glorify God. Listed below are a few of the ways we participate in missions on a local, state, national, and world level.

Week of Prayer for International Missions and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering The first week of December is set aside for concerted prayer for international missions. The offering, taken to support international missions, is named for the missionary who first suggested taking the offering at Christmastime.

Week of Prayer for North American Missions and Annie
Armstrong Easter Offering The first week of March is set aside for concerted prayer for North American missions (United States, Canada, Mexico). The offering, taken to support North American missions, is named for the first corresponding secretary for the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU).

Season of Prayer for State Missions and California State Missions Offering Each September an emphasis is made
to support mission efforts within our state convention through prayers and offerings.

Cooperative Program The Cooperative Program is a way
to support missions in all of the above categories through one channel. Cooperative gifts are distributed to state, North American, and international missions as well as seminaries and other programs. Our church contributes a designated percent of offerings each month to the Cooperative Program.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is another mission endeavor to spread the good news of Jesus around the globe. CBF is known for the creative ways and remote areas it takes the gospel. Our church contributes a designated percent of offerings each month to the CBF.

Local Missions Throughout the year we are made aware of needs in our community and our world and prayerfully consider each one. We have an ongoing Food Pantry and Benevolence program to care for the needs of the poor and hungry throughout the year. We have also helped with winter coat drives, gifts for convalescents, and local missionaries on short-term mission trips to Central America and other
places as well as many other ministry opportunities that arise throughout the year.
