Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. — Matthew 25:40
As a church in the center of the city, we are constantly seeking to discern how we can most faithfully serve our community – from the people who fill our pews on Sunday, the individuals who work in the buildings all around us, as well as those that don’t have a place to call home. We regularly serve through ministries within our congregation and organizations throughout our city. In addition to serving others, we seek to provide opportunities to learn as much as we can about and act on issues of social justice facing our city, nation and world.
