Love in Action

Our newest Outreach initiative is a one-time engagement opportunity to experience what God is already doing through our partners in Charlotte.

There will be a new offering monthly with a clergy or staff member!

April’s“ Love In Action”, Donation Drive for Crisis Assistance Ministry (CAM), Now-April 30 – CAM’s Free Store provides their clients the opportunity to shop for essentials free of charge. Help us provide CAM with some of the Free Store’s most popular items by shopping our Amazon Wish List and having items sent to the gift registry address or by purchasing items and dropping them in the Welcome Center bins. Items needed: trash bags, brooms, laundry baskets, sponges, command hooks, socks, underwear (all sizes), duffel bags, and backpacks.
