Our mission is to serve with the heart of Christ—bringing hope, help, and love to our community and beyond. Whether providing food, supporting those experiencing homelessness, or partnering with schools in the Dominican Republic, we believe every act of service is an opportunity to share God’s love.

We believe no one should face food insecurity alone. Our pantry is open every 4th Saturday of the month beginning at 9:00 AM and is available to anyone in need.
We offer a drive-thru distribution, though walk-ups are always welcome. No identification, registration, or household documentation is required.
Through the generosity of our church family and community partners, we are able to provide a variety of items to support individuals and families. This may include canned goods and non perishables which are donated by our congregation, frozen foods provided by Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Wawa, perishable items supplied by Publix, as well as dog and cat food and feminine hygiene products.
We understand that needs extend beyond the dinner table, and our goal is to care for our community with compassion, dignity, and the love of Christ.
Because traffic and demand can vary, distribution may occasionally begin earlier than 9:00 AM to help keep vehicles moving, so we encourage guests to arrive early

Our Backpack Ministry is one way we share the love of Christ with those experiencing homelessness and individuals facing difficult circumstances in our community.
Each backpack is thoughtfully packed with essential items and practical supplies that may include snack foods, bottled water, hygiene items, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, chapstick, socks, t-shirts, ponchos, and other helpful necessities.
These backpacks are available for members of our church family and community to distribute when they encounter someone in need. We encourage you to keep them in your vehicle, be ready to help, and serve others with compassion and dignity.
Backpacks may be picked up at the church, with up to two backpacks available per person for distribution within the community.

Since the start of our church in 1993, we have helped provide support to 2 separate communities in the Dominican Republic. One is a school with an orphanage in La Urena, Dominican Republic. The other is a school in El Tamarindo, Dominican Republic. We help financially to support the school’s needs and teachers’ salaries; we send school supplies once a year; and we provide the children with Christmas gifts. We don’t provide all the support for these communities on our own but are happy to be part of a network of giving people to such beautiful communities.
