A Bit Like Tabitha...
Tabitha made a difference right where she lived. We know about her because God raised her from the dead. But before that, according to her story in Acts 9:36-42, she was well-loved because she “was always doing good and helping the poor” (NIV). Apparently, she made clothes for the poor (verse 39). She just did what she could to make a difference right where she lived. As a result, not only were people clothed and the poor helped, but (after her resurrection) many people believed in the Lord! The goal of our local outreach is similar: to simply make a difference right here where we live, helping people with their needs and leading them toward Jesus Christ.
Local Outreach Ministries
In connection with the local office of Love INC, we provide baby and toddler supplies to low-income families with small children.
We host a few non-profit groups at our building in order to encourage their good work in our community.
To serve the local Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community, we provide a worship service in American Sign Language for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing most Sundays and, on the last Sunday of the month and other special occasions, we provide an interpreter at our Hearing-and-Deaf Sunday morning worship services. We also provide a weekly Bible study in English and ASL.
Participants in the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Bible Study talk (with their hands) about the life of Jesus.
