We support local missions and missions beyond. Our support is given through in-person volunteering, financial donations, and use of our church buildings.
Organizations that use our buildings are charitable and non-profit. Some examples are AA, Family Promise of Beaufort County, Bluffton Self Help, Hospice Bereavement Group, NAMI, and Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC)
We also share our facilities with other congregations and faiths to provide a quality place of worship for all, such as Temple Oseh Shalom and Centro Victoria Church.
We highlight an organization each month to support our “Change-Can-Make-A-Change” program, which accepts financial donations, as well as periodic drives for school supplies, shoes, and clothing.
Our Missions Beyond Ministry has sent mission teams to Louisiana, New Jersey, both North and South Carolina, and Haiti to aid in the disaster recovery efforts following devastating hurricanes and massive flooding.
Blessing Box
Our Blessing Box was blessed on Sunday, May 26th!
The Blessing Box has been placed across from Thomas Hall and stocked with non-perishable food items, basic toiletries, baby supplies, etc that might be considered a blessing to someone who finds themselves in need (accessible 24/7). The philosophy of the Blessing Box is "Take what you need, Leave what you can."
