Who We Are & What We Do

The Outreach and Mission Board’s purpose is to reach beyond the walls of Plymouth in response to God’s call to create a new realm based on shalom – peace, justice and wholeness for all God’s people. The Board works with over a dozen ministry teams, which address a variety of issues and concerns, both locally and internationally. Each board member serves as a liaison with several of these teams, keeping the board informed about their work, their challenges, and their needs.  Much of the funding that comes to the board via the Plymouth budget is used to support the work of our teams directly or to support the Mission Partners with whom they are allied.  The O/M Ministry Teams, the face of Plymouth in the community, do much to raise awareness within the congregation and to work in partnership with neighbors near and far to make a difference … to realize a bit of God’s shalom. We are grateful for all we are able to do together!

IMAGINE! 2025 PROJECT
GRANT OPPORTUNITY

Following last year’s successful Imagine! Project grant award (witness the raised garden beds being constructed west of the sanctuary), the Plymouth Outreach and Mission Board is back again this year with an Imagine! 2025 Project grant!

Any existing O&M ministry team or group of church members wishing to form a ministry team is welcome to apply for a grant of up to $3,000 to be used for a project of their imagination.

The application period for this grant begins on July 15th and ends on September 30th, with the grant being awarded by October 30th. All the information needed to apply for the grant is contained in the invitation document (download here)!

We look forward to learning again the great ideas that our congregation can come up with to improve lives within our community and the world beyond.
