We do what we can to make the world a better place!
Every month, the congregation donates to a charity. Our charities are chosen by committee and reviewed by our Board of Trustees. Feel free to help support our charitable work through a donation on the 3rd Sunday of each month.
Special Collection for
The Gentle Barn - May 18The Gentle Barn Foundation is home to sixty animals rescued from abuse. The Gentle Barn is host to abused children, kids recovering from substance abuse, kids on probation, foster kids and children and adults with mental, emotional and physical challenges. Through the interaction with animals the kids learn forgiveness, courage, strength, leadership skills, trust, empathy and kindness. The healing that takes place when the kids get together with the animals is miraculous.
Our church collection on Sunday, May 18th, will be donated to The Gentle Barn, to help them keep their program operational.
