Our Family Missions program is designed to provide an opportunity for families to come together and serve their community, spreading love, kindness, and compassion in the spirit of Christ’s teachings. Through a variety of volunteer activities, prayer services, and learning sessions, families will have the chance to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need while nurturing their own spiritual growth.
