Coordinating the sharing of God's riches with our
church family, our local community, and throughout the world is the
charge of the Mission Commission. Knollwood regularly supports
local mission organizations, providing food, clothing, and benevolence
support to people in our community who have needs.
Local hands-on
mission projects take place throughout the year. Each November,
Knollwood holds a large food in-gathering to be donated to
an area crisis ministry. In conjuction with this, a World Hunger
monetary offering is collected and distributed to a hunger organization
to be determined annually by the Local Mission Allocation Committee. We
have also enjoyed working closely with Habitat for Humanity, having sponsored
the construction of an entire home in 2001 and 2007. Through affiliation
with the North Carolina Baptist Convention, support is given to the North
Carolina Baptist Hospital, Children's Home, and Retirement Centers.
World mission efforts receive support from Knollwood
through gifts to the
Cooperative
Baptist Fellowship
Amercan Baptist Churches in the USA
Alliance
of Baptists.
