The Unhoused Community Ministry’s mission is to provide the unhoused community with necessary support as needs arise and to share with them the gospel and bring encouragement by showing the love of Christ. 

Starting in 2026, the ministry will serve the women's shelter on a quarterly basis in addition to monthly serve days at True Worth Place. Our goal is spend time and pray with the women and to supply them with hygiene essentials and drinks. Please support us by serving or donating as we venture to live and love like Jesus!

Since April 2025, we have partnered with True Worth Place, where we will be serving coffee and donuts for guests at the day shelter, as well as extending friendship and the offer for prayer. 

We have two ways you can support this ministry:
