We are sent out in service
to our communities and to the world. 

​

We are Christ's hands and feet in the world, so we live out our faith in love and in service to those around us. As Jesus says, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:35)

​

Our Social Ministry committee leads many of our outreach programs.  Our programs include:

- Motel Ministry (an outreach program that feeds individuals and families living in local motels),

- 5th Sunday offerings for local non-profits like Angels of Mercy Clinic and the Alzheimer's Association.

- Sponsoring a Salvation Army Silver Bells Angel Tree (20 local senior citizens were provided with Christmas gifts in 2025),

- Participating in the Summer Meals for Kids program for families who participate in free/discounted school lunch programs that are paused for summer.

- Providing Christmas gifts for local families,

- Coordinating collections of supplies and food for HOPE House and FISH, Inc. This committee also is entrusted with disbursing the Missions portion of our endowment fund earnings to community organizations that already do good work serving those in need.
