FEEDING THE COMMUNITY, BODY & SOUL

Every opportunity to serve is open to those willing to share their gifts of time and talent. To learn about how to get involved in a specific area, call the church office.

COMMUNITY

The church works with the local Food Bank to provide food for families with chronic hunger needs. Monthly, each family is provided a box of food to help sustain them.

In conjunction with First Baptist Church, we help pack and deliver "backpacks" of food in the summer months to help children with chronic hunger needs. For more information or to volunteer contact Terry Bellamy.

Each month we collect a different food item identified by the food bank as a staple. Along with many other local churches, our monthly collection contributes to a well stocked Food Bank in our community. Collection site is on a bench outside the Fellowship Hall.

FOOD MINISTRIES

Through cooking, shopping, collecting and delivering, we can serve to meet our neighbors most basic need.

Connect with college students through prayer, cards, and care packages. For more information contact Alison Blackwelder or Josh Keller.

Classes are offered to help provide coping mechanisms, life strategies and basic life skills to those beginning a new life beyond addiction. Classes are held the 3rd Wednesday of each month. To teach a class or learn more, please contact Jancie Painter.

This community ministry cuts, splits, and delivers wood to those throughout Greene County who rely on wood for heat. From October to March, volunteers meet on Saturdays to work and deliver wood. Volunteers also provide breakfast and lunch for those working in the wood lot. For more information or to volunteer, contact Doug Duff.
