Community Ministry

We strive to bridge the gap between despair and hope!

We strive to bridge the gap between despair and hope!We strive to bridge the gap between despair and hope!

Welcome

We thank Faith leaders, community members, educators, government officials, and caring individuals for your prayers and support over our

nearly  50 years of service Helping People and Developing Community Leaders.

Today Community Ministry continues to focus on providing emergency food, utility, and rental assistance, housing, health care education and other supportive services. With today’s tough economic conditions, many in our community need these services to help them “make ends meet”.

We would like this website to be a place of collaboration to help those in need in our neighborhoods and community. Therefore, we invite you to provide information for posting on the Community Calendar about free community events you provide that may help others. The service or

resource you offer may meet a specific pressing need of a member of our community.

It is our prayer that our organization and ministry will impact your life in some positive way and that you are inspired to join us as we seek to provide an uplifting hand to those in need in our community.

Jimmie L. Slade, Executive Director
