Outreach
Transforming Lives Through the Love of Jesus Christ
As Christ’s body in the world, we believe the Church is continually being re-formed to respond to the needs of our neighbors. Community outreach is a vital expression of our faith, and our commitment to leaving Fort Wayne better than we found it drives everything we do. Here’s how we live that out:
- Providing backpacks of food for students at Washington Elementary School
- Making and serving dinner at the Rescue Mission & St. Joseph’s Mission
- Collecting food for area food pantries
- Provide dental work and dentures for clients of Matthew 25
- Donating time and money to area non-profits
- Hands on Fort Wayne Volunteer Groups
- Hosting “tough talks” on issues that matter to Fort Wayne.
- Korean Language Ministry
- FPC Day School
- Weekly Book Clubs
- Project 216 Meal Packing (video below)
