Ministry Team of the Month: Outreach Ministry Team

We have many ministry teams that are doing some incredible work. Each month we will feature one of those teams and let you know how you can get involved with that ministry.

This month we want to introduce the Outreach Ministry Team. This team provides opportunities for the church family to connect with and share God’s love with our local community for the purpose of sharing the Gospel.

Some of the programs/activities this team organizes include Trick-or-Treat Warming Station, Feeding America food trucks, the Personal Needs Pantry, holiday food baskets, and our partnership with We Care I.N.C. Many of these programs are not new to us, but this is a new team and we are in need of people to be involved.

If you have a heart for our community, a great desire for people to come to know Jesus, or just want to get more involved, please contact the Outreach Ministry Team leader, Debbie McPike.
