WITNESS MINISTRIES
At Dundonald we long to see the life of our church expressed in seven prayerful ministries. These are summarised by the word WITNESS and each ministry plays a part in growing disciples of all nations for Jesus. We encourage everyone in our church family to be part of this work, through joining a team devoted to one of these ministries. Together we:
