Local Outreaches

"If your Gospel isn't touching others, it hasn't touched you." 

- Curry R. Blake


Through our Community Groups and all-church outreaches we put the Gospel into practice by reaching out to our community. To get involved, contact your Community Group leader to find what local events they are participating in.  


The heart of Compassion in Action is to serve our neighborhood by meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the working poor in the community. We meet these needs through large annual events as well as smaller on-going activities. Compassion in Action engages the people of our church to grow in their own walk with God while they invest their time into serving others.
