Community Outreach/Social issues

Our church is active on several fronts in the community and in addressing social issues such as gun violence. In April, the church hosted a Memorial to the Lost display highlighting local victims of gun violence. We also take an active role to end local hunger, help with disaster relief and work to help those in need, whether in our own neighborhoods or throughout the world.
