“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”
Food Pantry
We are collecting canned goods for our food pantry. We have people from time to time that are in need of food items and we try to keep a fresh stock on hand when they come by. Please bring CANNED items only. We cannot take anything wrapped in bags, boxes or any type of paper. (We DO NOT accept clothes.) Each month we are concentrating on a particular item. The list above outlines the types of food and some suggestions for each month. You may bring your items to the church any time during regular business hours or worship times.
OUR MINISTRIES
Connect Ministry
We would like to introduce to everyone the ministry called CONNECT. In the recent past, we became aware of people in our congregation who have felt forgotten. We recognized the need and began the process of trying to stay “connected” with one another. CONNECT aims to reach out to those who can no longer attend church as well as reach out to everyone who can come to assemble regularly. Volunteers who have accepted this task are called our “CONNECT TEAM”. These representatives will, from time to time, Facebook Message, text, email, call, or send a card to stay connected and also be available to receive prayer requests.
Hopefully, everyone will receive this ministry and recognize it as a reflection of Jesus’ love in us that compels us to do His work.
A.C.T.S. ministries
The purpose of ACTS (Actively Committed to Service) is to :
Provide a meal for those in need

You may sign up on the list provided at the church or contact Martha Williams.
Calendars are provided at the church for each month. You can sign up on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays to make your contact with those in need. Martha will text you the day before you signed up for to give you your assignment for the day.
N.A.I.L. Ministry - (Needs Addressed In Love)
If you or someone you know has a need (ex. I need a bed for my family, a washing machine, a sitter for the elderly, etc...) this is the place to request that need (to send us a need CLICK HERE). Our Church Staff will review the need and post the appropriate information on our Church's Facebook/Twitter accounts. We will include instructions for those who can help to contact the church office. We will coordinate the rest. All personal information will be kept confidential. (Please note that in cases of material items being dropped off at the church, we can only coordinate the "transfer" of items, "storage" is not an option).
Home of Grace
One of our ministry outreaches includes Pastor Cliff & Pastor Ed leading a worship service once a month on the 4th Monday (7pm to 8pm) at Home of Grace (Christian based addiction recovery program). You can be a part of this ministry by accompanying our team of Pastors and musicians to the Home of Grace Chapel. Be an encourager to the men of Home of Grace as they try to break the chains of addiction.
