The City

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich”
(2 Corinthians 8:9).

As Christ has sacrificially served us, we are all called to serve our city, especially to show mercy and justice for the needy, poor, and hurting. View the list of organizations our church formally partners with, and consider volunteering to serve those in need.

Safe Families For Children
SFFC, a faith based organization, is a ministry that seeks to support vulnerable families in crisis while they get back on their feet so that children are safe and families stay intact.
