Missions Team – The team has two primary purposes. At a logistics level, we try to discern God’s will to direct a given percentage of our church’s tithes and offerings to those who have dedicated their professional lives to God’s work and must raise their salaries through donations. More importantly we aspire to develop a strong two-way partnership with any person or group whom we financially support. This could be through regular communication, mutual education, shared events, or trips. As a growth goal, the team is striving to improve at providing and encouraging opportunities for people in our church community to engage in all levels of outreach. Anyone wanting to join our team should have a heart for giving and a passion for spreading God’s Word and Christ’s work both here and abroad. Interested folks can reach out to missions@brunswickchurch.org
Resource Management – The mission of the Resource Management Team (RMT) is to ensure the faithful management of the resources that God has entrusted to our congregation, to assist other ministry teams in their financial planning and to promote a culture of generosity in our church family. The Team could particularly use people with financial knowledge or background. RMT is open to new members; people are selected, not elected, to membership on RMT.

An important part of our walk with Christ is a life of serving others.
Micah 6:8 says “He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Brunswick is a community committed to serving others… from Brunswick, to Rensselaer County, to Albany, Louisiana, Bangladesh, Africa, and the ends of the Earth …
