Care Fund is a giving opportunity designed to direct funds to help our church reach out to those in need who are connected to our community. Our heart is to be the hands and feet of Jesus reaching out to our community— and that’s why Care Fund exists. Distribution of funds will be discerned by our pastors team for a variety of needs. This may include things such as food, clothing, rent, utility bills, medical bills, repairs, compassionate travel, counselling, etc. The funds will carry over from year to year and 100% of gifts received will be used to bless those in need.
