COMMUNITY IMPACT

• Serve our local community by meeting the needs of our neighbors.

• Use these service opportunities to be a witness to the love of Jesus to those whom we are serving and to share the Gospel with them.

• Current local partnerships:

  • Bartram Lakes Assisted Living Facility

    • Encouraging residents through group visits every other month, talking with them, singing hymns, having Bible study, and making crafts

    • Connecting with a resident one-on-one on a regular basis, reading to them, talking with them

    • Distributing small gifts or cards to the residents throughout the year

  • Care Portal (Foster Care Ministry)
