Compassionate ministries
Uniting with Jesus in finding and restoring people to God. Helping our neighbors in need in a tangible way. Loving our community. This is Compassionate Ministry.
Here are a few ways we are loving our community:
Adult Care Facility
We have been given the privilege to love our neighbors with this ministry! Every other Friday night we support the "Happy Hour" and serve beverages and snacks and visit with the residents as they listen to music/ Karaoke.
Every other Saturday is room visits. This is where we meet with the same residents each time to build relationships and show the love of Jesus.
Also, every other Thursday they would love some volunteers to help with field trips. Trips could be to the zoo, the mall or even the fair when it is in town.

We would love to share more about this ministry!
Thanksgiving Meal Boxes
We LOVE that we get to serve families with complete Thanksgiving meals. The families we serve are from Maplewood, Meeker, Spinning, Stewart, Wildwood elementary schools and the Spanish ministry. The food gets donated by our attendees, friends and businesses who would like to participate in helping our neighbors in need.
​
We have a fun meal packing night the week before, and then we deliver the meal boxes to all the schools where the families pick them up.
​
This year we begin collecting donations on Sunday October 22nd. If you wish to participate please click the button to choose what you have purchased.
Meal Program
We have 8-11 families that we provide with food every week. We give them two dinner recipes and all the ingredients. Also included are some staples such as milk, bread, butter, breakfast (either cereal or oatmeal) and a snack. Our families are referred to us by the school counselors we work closely with. The food gets donated weekly by our attendees who want to be on the list to receive the signup list for the items we need.
​
If you want to donate food for our weekly meal program just click the box for Food List Sign up. Food must be dropped off at the gym kitchen by the following Monday at 10am.
If you wish to donate financially just click the donate box and choose "Food Bank" from the drop down menu.
Community Garden
If you love gardening, this is for you! We have raised and given away over 5,000 pounds of fresh produce since its creation.
The produce we grow is given to the families in our meal program, a senior living facility and others in our community.
Come and combine your love for gardening and your love for our community and help in the garden!
Wishing Tree
During the Christmas season, we have the Wishing Tree. We are so grateful to be able to provide gifts for families at several local schools. We also provide gifts for the New Beginnings Home and our Spanish Ministry.
You can pick up a star in the lobby after church service starting the Sunday before Thanksgiving or you can donate by clicking the box below.
Care Ministry
Do you have skills or talents that you want to use to bless others? Sometimes we get asked to help with minor home repair, yard work, driving someone to appointments etc...
