Several nights per week from December through March, we provide a warm and safe shelter for our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness. This program is one of our largest service opportunities, with over 250 volunteers welcoming guests into our church for an overnight stay. Our volunteers cook and serve a home-cooked dinner, provide fellowship and showers, and offer the guests breakfast and a bag lunch to take the following day.
Our Stephen Ministers are lay men and women trained to engage in confidential, structured, and caring relationship with people who are going through a difficult period. A Stephen Minister can offer comfort and spiritual support to others who are experiencing loss; a difficult transition; a separation or divorce; illness, including chronic conditions and hospitalization; depression or loneliness; a spiritual crisis; fertility challenges; being homebound or institutionalized; a period of unemployment or other business or financial crisis.
