Serving a warm meal at the Community Dinner
Serve

Love walking out the front door.

The church does not exist for itself. It exists because the world needs the kind of love only Jesus can give, and Jesus has chosen to give it through people like us.

Homegrown Ministries

Started here, for our neighbors

The Community Dinner at the West Campus

Community Dinner

Once a month at our West Campus, we set the table and serve a warm meal to neighbors. Community Dinner is more than a meal. It is a gathering point for support groups and a safe space for anyone who needs an evening of welcome. Cook, serve, set up, clean up, or just sit with a neighbor over dinner.

The Thrift Store at the West Campus

Thrift Store

Our newest service ministry, located at the West Campus. Donations from the congregation are sorted, priced, and offered to the community at low cost, with proceeds supporting the ministries of the church. Volunteers serve in rotating shifts each week.

Serve Days & Supply Drives

Through the year, our Missions Team organizes hands-on serve days and seasonal collections: flood buckets for disaster relief, back-to-school supplies for Baldwin Family Village, a fall drive for the Veterans Home, and a winter blanket drive for those without shelter.

Costa Rica Mission

Each year, teams from our church travel to Costa Rica to serve at a partner children's home. Recent years have seen both adult and youth teams make the trip.

“Some of the people who eat at our table will never sit through a worship service. That is fine. Jesus fed people who never came back. We do the same.”
