2024 CELEBRATION OF MISSION EVENT
2024 will be the 27th year for Celebration of Mission Events, designed to support our Conference Mission Ministries, which include the seven West Virginia Conference Mission Projects, the Church and Community Ministries, the New Vision Depot Disaster Response and the Volunteers in Mission.
Over the past 15 years the Celebration of Mission Event has raised $1,533,242.69 in cash, plus an estimated one-third to one-half that amount in tangible goods for our mission ministries. The total includes $90,271.15 given and distributed in 2023. For the past several years every penny received has been distributed to aid our mission ministries in the WV Conference.
You can find a copy of the full C.O.M.E booklet here.
The MonValley District's mission assignments for 2024 are:
New Vision Depot #893
See a list if needs for this mission here.
Scott's Run Settlement House #887
See a list if needs for this mission here.

Please use the C.O.M.E. remittance form when sending monetary donations.
Make checks payable to the WV Conference Treasurer and
mail them to the address on the remittance form.
April 27 or May 25, 2024 are the recommended dates to complete the major portion of fundraising,
although funds may be sent to the Conference Treasurer throughout the calendar year.
While we won't be having a district-wide C.O.M.E. fundraising event, churches, charges, or parishes are encouraged to host their own fundraisers for our assigned missions. Here are some ideas to raise money between now and April:
