HELP, HOPE, HOME, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
Help: Service
“If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? ”
We look to help people with their physical needs even as we share the Good News of Jesus with them. These teams and activities strive to balance the good works we are urged to do by the Holy Spirit with the joy of the salvation we receive through faith in Christ alone, not of our own doing or works.
HELPING Activities:
We coordinate with local aid agencies to receive Christmas gift needs for anonymous local children whose families receive our Holiday Food Baskets.
We provide school backpacks filled with school supplies to children in need at local elementary schools, including Alum Creek Elementary
A feeding program in which we join with Alum Creek Elementary School to supply supplemental weekend food for Charleston, West Virginia area children living in food-insecure households.
We coordinate with local aid agencies such as Heart and Hand to provide food baskets to needy families during the holiday seasons — Thanksgiving and Christmas.
From time to time, needs in the community arise for which we respond to help Charleston area neighbors. These needs may be as extensive as wide-spread disaster response or as simple as minor home repairs.
Stephen Ministers multiply the number of caregivers by providing high-quality Christian care to people who might be experiencing grief, terminal or extended illness, major life transitions, family crisis, or natural disasters.
