Outreach
In the 25th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus challenges us to reach out to others in love and compassion. Our Outreach Committee is dedicated to finding ways to help those in need.
We have monthly outreach projects which range from collecting food for the Salvation Army’s food pantry, to painting houses. Our children also participate in Outreach projects through their Sunday school classes and VBS. Serving others through our time and talents is an important way we share God’s love with the world. Serving others monetarily is also an important part of our ministry. Our church gives 10% of all contributions to local outreach organizations that align with our mission.
