Food Pantry and Assistance
Recognizing the importance of access to nutritious food, we operate a Food Pantry that actively serves disadvantaged individuals and families. Through partnerships with local farmers, businesses, and volunteers, we strive to alleviate hunger and ensure that nobody in our community goes to bed with an empty stomach.
Community Health and Wellness
Health and well-being are essential foundations for a fulfilling life. Our church organizes various health screenings, workshops, and support groups to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From fitness classes to counseling sessions, we aim to equip individuals with the tools needed to lead healthier and happier lives.

Our educational outreach initiatives include after-school programs, tutoring services, and scholarships for local students. Additionally, we offer skill development workshops and vocational training opportunities to empower individuals in their professional journeys.
Homelessness and Housing Support
Nothing is more fundamental than having a safe and stable home. In partnership with local organizations, we provide support and resources to those experiencing homelessness or housing instability. From emergency shelters to housing counseling, we work towards making housing a reality for all members of our community.
