We will be a congregation committed to and sent out to engage in sustainable and transformational missions so that all God’s children can live life to the fullest.
We will initiate and implement a culture which encourages this Body of Christ to engage in missions which balance short-term relief with long-term sustainable transformation.
Empowerment: Doing all we can to help make people and their communities stronger and more confident in controlling their lives and making their own decisions and choices.
Sustainability: Choosing approaches that can be implemented by helpers and recipients together and continued for the long term after helpers go home.
Focus on both Justice and Compassion: Compassion: helping to alleviate the pain and suffering of others. Justice: examining the systemic causes of pain and suffering and working to eradicate them.
Relational: Provide opportunities to build long-term relationships.
Help not Hurt: Ensure that human dignity is preserved above all else. Create no dependencies. Safeguard local economies.

The Christian Mission exists to break the cycle of poverty by providing crisis assistance, case management, educational programming, and community engagement. As the hands and feet of Christ, we believe in showing God’s incredible love, mercy, and compassion to all people, just as they are.
In 2023, your support made it possible for TCM to provide food, clothing, shelter, life skills and educational programs to over 4000 individuals and families in Southern Iredell County. We prevented 481 evictions and utility shut-offs, allowing individuals and families to remain safe and healthy in their homes.
The Christian Mission offers many opportunities for us to volunteer and serve our communities, and right now, that’s what we need the most.

This winter, we have the chance to extend warmth, shelter, and compassion to our neighbors experiencing homelessness through Room In The Inn (RITI). For one night, we’ll transform the Dale House on the DUMC campus into a cozy, home-like refuge, providing not just food and shelter but also the gift of fellowship. Whether it’s setting up before our guests arrive, sharing time with them during their stay, or helping with clean-up afterward, there are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful impact. We need your help to make this ministry a success! If you're ready to lend a hand and be a part of this life-changing mission, reach out to RITI Coordinator Jim Farr or Pastor Brad. Together, we can be the hands and heart of Christ this winter.
Pastor of Missions and College Ministry
