Towson United Methodist Church is a Global Mission Partner As a fire exists for burning, so the Church exists for Mission. The purpose of the Mission Work Area of the Towson United Methodist Church is to provide coordination, education, publicity, budget advocacy, and support for Christian outreach ... locally, nationally, and globally.
When leaving the church parking lot, look for the signs that read, "You are now entering the Mission field."
