Impact the Agency has made on the community:

The church has volunteers that help with the local “Meals on Wheels” ministry which delivers meals to underprivileged families and shut-ins.

• Aid the Vacation Bible school, specifically in the Dance and Music programs
• Help set up and break down for events
