We desire to graciously enfold anyone into our warm and loving,
spirit-led family.
Jesus calls us to love one another. During this difficult time, we need to take care of one another more than ever before. We have started a bridge builders initiative; this will help connect those who need support & connection to those who can offer assistance.
Our community benefits greatly when we reach out to listen and help each other and engage with our neighbours.
There are Community Bridge Builders available who care and are ready to listen to your request!
We desire to boldly love our community, speaking hope through Jesus and reaching out to those in need.
We are called to help others and serve with the gifts we have been blessed with.
This is a great opportunity for our city to experience the love of God in a tangible way.
Serve
We are working with partner organizations, to address the emergency needs of people in our city; This includes vulnerable populations such as seniors, those experiencing homelessness, and children living in poverty.
Partner Organizations
We strongly encourage you to look in to ways you can be supporting our community by donating your time and money to our partner organizations within the city.

My Shelter
