Family and Community Outreach
Through Community Outreach/Family Services it is our desire to empower families to improve the quality of their lives, transform holistically, and to share that transformation with the community in which they are a part.
We distribute resources such as food, coats, school supplies and other needed items both seasonally and throughout the year when available. Each family is also offered guidance and weekly support in order to help them make necessary changes in their lives. Volunteers and those they engage can use an event as a springboard to real change for entire communities.
We feel that we can best obey the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 16-20) by empowering those who are interested to learn more about God and His plans for their lives by discovering Him through the Bible with their family and friends. Our prayer is that these discovery Bible studies will multiply and lead to the establishment of thousands of communities of believers with a passion to help others, like Jesus did, to transform communities throughout the world.
Neighborhood Events
Essential items are taken into neighborhoods where the need is the greatest. In addition to food, items such as school supplies, hygiene products, toys, warm coats and cleaning supplies are distributed. Through these events it is our hope to engage families who both seek and lead others towards change.
Volunteer Opportunities
We provide opportunities for those who would like to serve and help bring life-saving resources to the needy. We also gather for outreach events and pre-events for preparing areas we intend to provide resources to and develop Bible studies in. Please visit our Volunteer Page for a list of opportunities and how to get involved.
Discovery Bible Studies
When we serve families, we are looking to identify those who are interested in learning more about God and His plans for their lives. We empower them to discover God through the Bible with their family and friends in a discovery Bible study held in their own home.
Gospel Planting Training & Mentoring
For volunteers who want to spread the Good News among the un-churched we offer training and provide opportunities to apply the training by identifying receptive persons, initiating discovery Bible studies and mentoring the leaders of these communities of believers.
