We are called as followers of Jesus to care for the orphan, the unborn, and those in need. We want to support women and children in our community who are in need of additional support.

In 2020, the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse reported serving 1,787 residents in the community with services. This statistic is just the people who reached out for help and is not reflective of those who often suffer in silence. As the church, we want to support services to those who are struggling in our city.
