THE ART OF NEIGHBORING
We glorify God by making disciples and loving our neighbors in our own community. Much of our disciple-making in our area occurs through our members’ personal witness in their homes, offices, schools, and neighborhoods. But we also work together in structured outreach programs to make disciples and show compassion to others in our communities.
God has equipped each believer with talents and gifts to be His witness in the world. In Local Outreach, we provide a variety of opportunities for church members to serve in their community. We understand that our efforts to make disciples are more effective when we have a consistent presence in the community. Therefore, we invite you to join us in establishing and maintaining an ongoing presence throughout our region.
