Outreach
Part of what drives our congregation to be engaged in the wider community is inspired by John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighbourhood ” (The Message Translation).
We believe that God meets us where we live, work, play, worship and go to school. We also believe that God calls us to make a difference in the lives of people in the communities and neighbourhoods where we live. As followers of Jesus, we are committed to reaching out with acts of compassion, love and grace; particularly to those who might be on the margins of our society or who are struggling in one way or another.
To those ends, we focus some of our outreach efforts in the Arrowsmith Elementary School where we provide funds to help with a lunch program for their students. We also provide food hampers and clothing for local families who have lost income due to the Covid 19 crises.
In addition, we actively support the Samaritan’s Purse global program called “Operation Shoebox” which brings joy and hope to millions of children in developing nations around the world.
