Join us after church services for our Compassion Ministry Partner Event, an opportunity to learn about various ministries that embody 1 John 3:18: “let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” This event will showcase organizations committed to sharing God’s love through practical support and the transformative power of the Gospel. Representatives from each ministry will be available to discuss their mission, ways they impact our local and global communities, and how you can get involved. Whether you are interested in supporting vulnerable populations or providing practical help to those in need, this event offers numerous ways to serve.
