“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” — 1 Peter 4:8-10
Missions
“…Serve the Lord with gladness”
If communion--done faithfully--is a sharing of ourselves with our neighbors, then community is the result of that sharing... it's a people and place so transformed by God's love that all life flourishes there. Part of what it means to be Christians united in the one Body of Christ is that, as the Church together, we care for our community. Listed below are some of the ways you can get involved with our church's efforts to help our neighbors and our community flourish.

Featured Effort: Pinwheel Project (Homes of Hope—YWAM)
For five years now, WDMCC has facilitated a Spring fundraising and advocacy effort known as the Pinwheel Project. Through this project, WDMCC partners with a mission-minded organization to 1) raise awareness about a specific need our neighbors have and 2) help address the need in a practical way. For this fifth anniversary year of the Pinwheel Project, we are partnering with Homes of Hope to build a home for a low-income family in Tijuana, Mexico. The impact a home can have on a family is dramatic. Here are three ways to join the impact:

Mission Trips
At WDMCC, we firmly believe Christ calls us to extend our love, compassion, and dedication beyond the walls of our own church and into the world. Mission trips provide a unique opportunity for participants to embark on spiritually transformative journeys, both near and far, as we actively participate in God's work to see all creation flourish.
make a meaningful impact on the lives of others while deepening our own connection to the greater purpose of spreading love and hope. Explore the possibilities, discover the joy of serving, and be part of a community that strives to make a difference, one mission trip at a time.
