The Missions Team serves and assists the people of NHUMC in obeying the Great Commandment and the Great Commission by seeking to share the love of Christ with peoples of all cultures by being prayerful, being partners, and being purpose driven.

Knowing that building relationships is key to building the Kingdom of God, NHUMC will partner itself with missionaries or mission organizations in order to reach people of all ages and cultures.  We are not looking to control those we will minister with, but rather genuinely love and care for them.
