Becoming a Partner in Mission at Mount Tabor
The Apostle Paul states in Philippians 1:3-7, “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Paul spread the good news (gospel) of Jesus Christ to many communities, establishing a network of believers through the early Church. He lifted up the importance of Christian community in furthering God’s realm here on earth. Together, we can become partners in sharing God’s good news as we live into God’s will being done. Partnering with God is a Biblical vision and lifts up a sense of communal responsibility.

- Additionally, we are connected to Grace UCC, another congregation which our pastor serves, and share in ministry through Habitat for Humanity, the Shoe Man, and Our Church’s Wider Mission. We together have also refurbished a room at Gateway 180-Homelessness Reversed and have begun seeking other joint efforts for our two congregations.
- In the fall annually, we host a trivia night to raise funds (& fun!) for scholarships to send children and youth to Camp MoVal, one of our Outdoor Ministry opportunities in the Missouri Mid-South Conference of the UCC. We also support Camp Shannondale, which reaches out to some of the poorest in the Ozarks through local ministries there as well as offering a summer camping and canoeing program.
