Outside Sidewalk (Illinois Street, on the south side of the Church)
We are going to begin a monthly outdoor food pantry ministry to help out those in our community! We will plan on setting up a table outside at least once a month (during summer/fall) and loading it up with food and items of necessity. You can drop off donations to Pastor Amber, or if you would like to volunteer to help out just let her know. Great way to connect with our community and give-back! Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus!
Encounter Prayer Meeting
First Sunday of each month at 5:00 p.m.

Get one of our t-shirts sporting the new logo! It is a great way to get out to the community your story and to share your faith with others. The shirts are $12 (2XL and above are $15). See or email Pastor Amber if you are interested!
Community Garden
Summer is here and our garden is an empty opportunity. If you have a desire to help or plan, by all means let us know. Contact our ‘Captain’ Gardener, Pastor Eric, if you are interested in helping out with planting, weeding, harvesting and maintaining! If you are in the area, stop on by and check it out on the east side of the church. We take suggestions from anyone who has a green thumb!
