Mission and Outreach

Our primary mission field is right here in Black Mountain and the Swannanoa Valley. 

God created the church to be the primary tool for making disciples of Jesus His Son.  We believe that our local church ought to be full of local "missionaries" passionate to support the church by giving faithfully of their fiscal resources and going out into the mission field right in their "backyards". 

What We're Doing Locally:     

Presbyterian Home for Children:  There are many group and individual opportunities for ministry to and with the children and staff of the PHFC.  There are a number of standing opportunities open to folks from Isight to participate in, and we are always finding new opps, which we'll let you know about as they arise. 

Least of These Ministries:  Burton Salthouse [828-713-6439] leads a ministry to the homeless and street people of Asheville.  Every Saturday morning you can find Burton and his team down at the parking lot of Cornerstone Church serving up breakfast, prayer, and the Gospel to somewhere between 100-200+ people.  They need help in food prep, service, and cleanup.

Spirituality on Tap: Pastor Josh and the guys [and some gals] lead this ministry of connecting with the locals in their favorite pubs to put not just good brew, but spiritual things on tap.  Invite some of your unbelieving friends, or those unaffiliated with the church yet to come and join you and your church over some of the area's finest beer. 

Women's Book Club:  Jessi Schatzle [828-337-4126] and Vanessa Washburn [828-335-3002] lead a community connectional group of women hoping to build relationships with our neighbors in town.  Click here to check out their website.

What We're Doing Abroad:

Isight has been privileged so help send some of our own folks off to mission in both South Africa and Great Britain [Travis and Hannah Shelburne are currenlty serving in a church there].  We've helped bring Christmas to orphans in Thailand, and fund wells for fresh water in Sierra Leone [contact Kelly McClellan, 828-669-4757].  We don't yet support any missions or missionaries full time, but that will hopefully change as we grow and build long-term relationships with them.
