Program
Community Outreach Ministry
Our community outreach ministry extends beyond our walls. We partner with local churches, schools, businesses, and government agencies to create a network of support — from homeless feeding outreach, which began in 2010, to neighborhood beautification.
Throughout the year we host community events, including a Back to School event with backpacks and school supplies, a Thanksgiving Gala, and a holiday toy drive for teens ages 13–17, an often-overlooked age group.
Who it is for
Our neighbors across Henry County, including people experiencing homelessness, students, and families.
