MINISTRY PARTNERS
We Commit to Give in Gratitude
All blessings come from God, and we willingly share them with others.
The act of serving is a powerful tool to connect a community. Just as Jesus taught his disciples to love one another, we too are called to care for the poor and needy. Our mission is Building Bridges to Show Every Child of God is Worthy of Christ's Love ​and through our service to the community, we can create and nurture relationships which will allow our church to acknowledge and address the needs of those in Paducah and and Western Kentucky.
​
By sharing and demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ, our time is an invaluable gift that can make an amazing impact in our community.
But don’t forget to help others and to share your possessions with them. This too is like offering a sacrifice that pleases God.
Hebrews 13:16
