 Missions Offering

This year we have the opportunity to help complete a housing addition at The Woods! The John Sullivan Discipleship Center is well underway, adding 5 bunk rooms, 4 bathrooms with showers, and a large indoor meeting space to the camp. Our goal of $6,000 will help the camp cross the finish line. Just to make it fun, the group that brings the largest offering per capita will receive a prize!

 Guest Speaker

Tanja Dwire, Kids’ Ministry Director, Family Life Church, Verndale

Before moving to Verndale, God called Tanja and her husband, Jeremiah to start a ministry in Haiti for widows and single moms. After launching and developing that ministry, God brought them back to Minnesota to raise their 6 children, Cameron, Emily, Madelyn, Lydia, Faith, and Elaina. Their heart is to be the hands and feet of Jesus wherever God leads them!

Tanja has served in multiple areas at Verndale Family Life church and started working at Verndale Area Christian Academy (VACA) in 2022.  She has a passion to lead, pray, invest & encourage the students in their daily lives & academics.
