Outreach Ministries
An important part of the Christian life is obedience to Jesus' commands regarding those in need. All around us today are people who are hurting, hungry and hopeless. What would Jesus do? Help them. We want to do the same.
We have ongoing monthly, as well as various yearly ministry outreaches that offer a helping hand in the name of Jesus and address the practical needs of people and families in our community. We invite you to participate in these need-oriented ministries.
'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Matthew 25:34-36
