Ministries
This ministry is a blend of active outreach and compassionate care, focused on building relationships, meeting needs, and sharing the hope of Jesus beyond our church walls. Whether walking neighborhoods, visiting hospitals or nursing homes, or following up with those who need encouragement, we aim to serve our community with love, prayer, and the gospel. Together, we extend the heart of Christ to those around us—one conversation, one Bible, and one act of care at a time.

The Mission Monday is a simple, meaningful way to serve our community through generosity and care. Each Monday, meals are prepared and delivered to The Promise, a local nonprofit organization we partner with to support those in need. This ministry gives individuals, families, or small groups the opportunity to provide a meal, helping meet a practical need while showing love in a tangible way.

Our church is committed to serving our community through volunteer work at the local soup kitchen. We will provide 15 volunteers—three volunteers per day—for a week of service. These volunteers will assist with food preparation, serving meals, and ensuring the smooth operation of the soup kitchen.
In partnership with other area churches, we will rotate our service weeks, contributing once every 11 weeks or so. This collaboration ensures the soup kitchen is supported year-round and that the needs of our neighbors are met consistently.
By participating in this ministry, we demonstrate Christ’s love through acts of service, offering our time, energy, and compassion to those in need.
