Our Purpose:

On a Mission 5K is held to support Faith Church student summer missions. This summer, we have over 100 students going on training and mission trips to Allentown, Baltimore, Kansas City, Montreal, and Guatemala. We are also running in honor of our friend Mike Morgan, loving husband, father, and youth leader who dedicated time each summer to lead students on mission experiences. Mike was an avid runner who died in August 2011 while training for the Marine Corps Marathon.
