Through our Community Impact Ministries, we partner with organizations and groups to make a difference within our region. We collect and deliver food to share with the homeless, the elderly, and families in need. We participate in construction projects to build and repair homes. We provide mentoring and assistance for children in our local schools. We bring together healthcare professionals and organizations to improve community health. We serve in ministries that create Christian communities in prisons. We serve together in many other significant ways to share the love of God and make a positive impact in our neighborhoods.
Each year, our Christmas Eve offering goes towards our ministry partner, ZOE Empowers. ZOE transforms the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children through a three-year empowerment program, guiding them from poverty and neglect to self-sufficiency and community. It is one of the most powerful examples of transformation through empowerment. Your offering will go towards empowering thousands of children through this life-changing program.

Anyone who can spare 1 ½ hours just one day per week Monday through Friday can change someone’s life for the better.
