The Community Outreach Ministry is dedicated to spreading compassion, support, and resources to those in need within our local community and beyond. We’re driven by our commitment to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus, showing God’s love through practical acts of kindness, advocacy, and support. Through our Missionary, Social Justice, and Street Team groups, we aim to address physical, spiritual, and social needs, creating a stronger, more caring community.
Ministry Areas
Our Missionary Ministry focuses on reaching those who may not have access to basic resources or spiritual guidance. Through food drives, clothing donations, and outreach visits, this team is dedicated to meeting both physical and spiritual needs. The Missionary Group embodies Ivy’s commitment to embodying Christ’s love in a tangible way, offering a helping hand to those in need.
The Social Justice Group advocates for equity and justice, providing educational resources and fostering discussions on topics affecting our community, such as racial equality, economic justice, and housing access. This group is dedicated to empowering our congregation and community with the tools and knowledge to seek justice and create lasting change, following biblical principles.
Our Street Team brings the message of hope directly to the community through in-person outreach. By organizing street evangelism, prayer walks, and neighborhood events, this team engages with community members, building relationships and offering encouragement. The Street Team is a vital part of our mission to make God’s love known and accessible to everyone, especially those who may not walk through church doors.
