Serving the Community
Meeting Christ in the World
With every Sunday collection, we take 10% of contributions and set it aside for community ministries. Our Outreach Committee meets quarterly to award grants from this fund. We do this to serve the needs of the community with greater strength, expertise, and impact than we could if we tried to do it all ourselves. In addition, we give thousands of dollars of direct aid to those who come to our doors, and we maintain a “Little Free Pantry” for anyone, anytime.
Some of the agencies which have been recipients of our grants in the last year include:
Gerard’s House
