Serving Our Community
Being the hands, feet, and face of Jesus
We are the hands, feet, and face of Jesus to our neighbors. The people of our congregation serve their neighbors in many ways, each and every day, but in addition, we have three ways that we regularly reach out beyond the walls of our building to help and serve others.
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13
GO Ministry is our way of allowing our members to be involved beyond placing a check in the offering each week. Through GO we are taking part in being the hands, feet, and face of Jesus. We want to reach all people in need of Christ and we know that happens one relationship at a time. For example, one of our regular outreaches is providing Healing Kits to our local cancer treatment center. Members donate items for these kits, help pack them, and write personal notes that are included as words of encouragement for those battling cancer. We also conduct monthly service activities such as Operation Christmas Child for children in developing countries, donating items to local food pantries, and providing school supplies to area school success workers for underprivileged students, and much more. In addition, we also conduct Random Acts of Kindness which helps families who may need assistance making small home repairs, fixing a vehicle or even purchasing groceries or other household items. GO Ministry also includes funeral luncheons, neighborhood holiday meal baskets, Sunday fellowship hour, deer blind builds for charity auctions, and family game nights. These activities utilize the gifts of many in our congregation to organize and carry out each year.
