At our church, we believe that generosity transforms lives. Our outreach initiatives are founded on the powerful promise found in Luke 6:38: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” By focusing on giving our time, showing mercy, and providing resources, our ministry creates a ripple effect of blessings within the community. We aim to demonstrate that the love poured out into our neighborhood will be returned abundantly. We do not simply give to meet needs; we give to reflect the overflowing and unstoppable love of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the year, we collect donations as a congregation to support our neighbors and the wider community.
