Missions and Ministries
We receive the lavish gift of God's grace, given freely and unselfishly. In return, Isle of Faith gives our resources and ourselves in service, and encourages everyone to live a life of gracious generosity. Countless hours of volunteer time and generous financial support are given each year to those in need.
Contact our Missions/Ministry leaders to see how you can put your faith into action through one of our faith missions.
