Mission Awareness Group

Missions Support at Scots

Our church tithes 1/10th of its income to mission. The Mission Awareness Group is a group established within our church with the responsibility of directing that giving to mission. The MAG does so in accordance with the following principles:

  1. To support with prayer and finance both home and overseas missions on an equal basis where possible.
  2. To endeavor, where possible to make personal contact with the mission personnel we are supporting in prayer and finance; and
  3. To support those missionaries and mission groups of reformed persuasion and Presbyterian doctrine.
