Missions at St. Mark UMC
Sending Forth is the team that leads our congregation in the outreach ministries of evangelism and missions. Our goal is to respond faithfully to the teaching of Jesus in the Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28:19-20: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Our passion is to be responsive to needs of "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40), those who are hungry, thirsty, homeless, sick, or poor.

Our commitment is expressed through our 100% payment of what we United Methodists call apportionments-missional giving to the ministries of United Methodists in the state, nation, and around the world. Additionally we at St. Mark commit 10% of our total annual income to support nineteen other identified missions which include such ministries as Salkehatchie Summer Service, United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM), Greenwood United Ministries, Faith Home, Soup Kitchen, and missionary support.
