SRCC has a long history of keeping missions as a high priority in our budget by supporting both local and global missionaries and non-profit organizations. We also give support to our Northwest Conference and our denomination, including its mission programs like Covenant World Relief and Development and UCare4Congo. Missions has an even wider reach from our congregation by the involvement and commitment of our people to various other organizations.
New Life Family Services is a local ministry that SRCC has supported for many years with finances, volunteers, and specific items they need for the families they help. Sam Johnson is our volunteer liaison to NLFS. Here's a description of what their ministry is all about:
At New Life Family Services, we believe each person should have the ability to receive physical, emotional, and spiritual support as they face pregnancy-related situations and circumstances. We walk beside each client offering them love and support to make informed and educated decisions in their time of crisis and need. It is through this care that we are seeing God change hearts, save lives, build families, and restore hope. New Life’s services are holistically life affirming. Our services offer not only life, but life abundantly for women, children and families throughout Rochester. New Life offers programming in three areas: First Care Pregnancy Center, New Life Adoptions, and Conquerors Post-abortion Support. To learn more about the services offered in each program please visit our website

Ken Olson has worked with Wycliffe Bible Translators since 1989. A big project that Ken has worked on for many years has been the translation of the New Testament into the Mono language. The dedication for this completed project will be held at the end of April in Gemena in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ken and Jessica are grateful to be able to attend this special celebration. We look forward to having them come and share a mission update with us on May 16.
