Outreach
We are invested and involved in reaching out in service, locally and globally, in partnership with others seeking to work for good. Service opportunities are coordinated by the Service Ministry and open to everyone. We partner with a variety of organizations in many ways, from designated offerings and needed collections to annual trips to “A Thankful Hearts Pantry” in the Appalachian region of Kentucky.
Our Service Ministry hosts regular “Lunch with a Twist” meals after worship to educate the church about needs in our community and raise money to support them.
