Outreach Team
The Outreach Team provides monthly opportunities through Outreach Connections for our congregation to learn about and offer financial support to local nonprofit organizations that address the needs of people in areas of basic food, shelter, and/or education. Each organization will also be given an additional $1,000 for presenting their agency to the congregation as part of Sunday worship. This money is set aside from the Outreach Fund. Donations specifying “Outreach Connection” or the agency name may be sent to the church office throughout the month. Donations may be made online at any time and will be credited to the current month’s featured agency.
