Mission Statement
Concord United Methodist Church has sent mission teams to 16 nations. For the past five years, over 50 of its members have gone to Russia to minister to orphanages. The Russian ministry is under the direction of Children’s HopeChest, a Colorado Springs based ministry.
Senior Pastor, Dr. John Smith, has led his church in a “sponsoring relationship” with the Luhktonova Orphanage. Luhktonova, located in the Sudogda district about 150 miles east of Moscow, is a “special needs” orphanage for 12-16 year olds.
