Our Missions
The believers at Skillman are continually seeking to become a missional people. We know that the life-learning skills and comfort we gain from our faith are meant to be shared with others, and we know we have a lot to learn from those we encounter.
Because we believe strongly in our common mission on this earth, we also seek to support those whose work complements our own.
Currently, Skillman supports the following mission works:
Missions Committee
The Missions Committee is set up to review requests for missionary support; determine where to spend church resources and what amounts. In part, they work to allocate the portion of the Moeller Fund monies assigned to missions each year.

Meals on Wheels
Volunteers assist the Visiting Nurse Association (V.N.A.) by delivering hot meals to clients physically or financially unable to provide their own. Must drive his/her own car and have license and insurance. Any other training is provided by the Coordinator. Meals are picked up at First Community Church just west of Abrams and Mockingbird. Deliveries are made to various locations in East Dallas. Must commit 1 – 1 ½ hours once a month (Skillman provides delivery service for one week each month.)

Central Dallas Ministries (CDM) was founded in 1988 as a small storefront food pantry. Since that time, they have grown into an expansive community and human development organization that battles the root causes of poverty in our community
Prison Ministry
The Prison Ministry works with both inmates and their families to bring them to Christ help maintain a spiritual basis, give them tools to rebuild their lives and offer support as needed. The NewLife Ministries program is used as a basis for much of the training.

Ministries 101
Believing that a relationship with Jesus is foundational for any kind of true life-change, Ministries 101 exists to provide re-entry and aftercare services for those who are being released from prison and seek to live in freedom with integrity and accountability through the process of reintegration and restoration by sharing the love of God in real and tangible ways.

World Bible School
World Bible School is a program designed to teach the Bible to people around the world through correspondence courses. Lessons and supporting materials are sent to a student who studies the lesion, answers the assigned questions, and sends responses back to his/her Study Helper. The Study Helper grades the answers, sends a certificate of completion, and sends the next lesson. Contact with the same Study Helper is long-term. The Study Helper stays in contact through form letters and personal notes and pays special attention to any question or special request (Bibles, sermon tapes, baptism) the student has.
