mission, begins with prayer. The organizations we've selected have been prayerfully considered. They also address issues we are aware of in our community and issues that we see God speak to in the scriptures. We do our best to vet organizations prior to supporting them to be sure they are doing good work in the community and they are worthy of the trust of our people.

Our level of commitment with each community partner varies. Some of these organizations we partner with multiple times a year, while others we may only partner with one month out of the year. We're open to adding or removing partners as the dynamics within our community and church evolve through the years. Each of these organizations partners with a number of churches and individuals to do the work they do. We're thankful to be one such organization contributing to their work in our community.

Our monthly outreach focus is intended to be a catalyst for serving but not an all-inclusive approach. Individuals and groups in our church partner with other organizations and serve in a myriad of ways around our city. Some of these things we are aware of and some of them we are not. We cheer on our folks to share the love of Jesus through serving others.

We are open to partnering with any organization that is doing meaningful work in our community and is in line with our mission to help people love and follow Jesus for life. If you have an organization or donate/volunteer with an organization that you think we should consider, please email the office. Tell us about the needs being addressed and how we might come alongside the organization in the work they are doing. We intentionally limit the number of organizations we partner with because we recognize that if we try to do too much, then we'll become too thin in our approach. However, we love to hear of how organizations are investing in the lives of others and to prayerfully consider if God would lead us to partner in some way with that work.
