Glen Cary has several standing Ministry Teams, and many ad-hoc teams that support and enable the mission of our church. Standing teams have members elected by the congregation or appointed by the Council; ad-hoc teams generally are made up of volunteers interested in sharing their gifts for a particular program or project. The teams and ministries are diverse, so there are always opportunities for members to put their interests and talents to good use!

With this charge, the committee determines adult education needs and then plans, develops, and coordinates corresponding programs.

The Mission team at Glen Cary serves the congregation by identifying opportunities to declare/spread/tell/share the gospel message/good news of Jesus Christ everywhere. The team members select projects that emphasize evangelism. The projects are next door and around the globe. Locally, we support New Life Lutheran Church, an ELCA mission congregation in Oak Grove, through the ELCA Partners in Mission program. We have raised monies to build a new Lutheran Church in the African country of Malawi. We are part of a multi-congregational group that supports an international missionary team. In addition, we support the work of the Lutheran World Relief, Global Health Ministries, and Equal Exchange marketing. The third Sunday of each month the team hosts a "Trade Bazaar" where Equal Exchange coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate and other food items are offered for sale. We are also committed to recognizing, supporting and encouraging the mission work done by other groups within the Glen Cary congregation.
The Mission team has recently created a special area to host their information.
