The recent wildfires in Southern California have left a trail of devastation, impacting countless lives and communities. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
In response to this urgent need, we are opening our hearts and extending our hands to provide support and relief to those who have suffered loss. We invite you to join us in demonstrating God's love and compassion through a special donation drive.
Your generous contributions will be used to provide essential resources such as:
- Emergency Shelter and Housing: Ensuring that those displaced from their homes have a safe place to stay.
- Food and Water: Providing sustenance and nourishment to those in need.
- Medical Assistance: Addressing the immediate healthcare needs of those injured or affected by the fires.
- Rebuilding Efforts: Supporting the long-term recovery and rebuilding of communities.
You can make contributions through the giving portal (select 'Disaster Relief')or use our mobile giving app.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Join us in extending care and compassion to those in need by participating in our monthly event at Abode. Held every second Saturday, this initiative provides an opportunity to cook and serve meals while fostering a spirit of kindness and community. Your involvement can help bring warmth and hope to those facing challenging times.
To ensure the health and safety of everyone, masks are mandatory, and teams are kept small in alignment with current health guidelines. Together, we can provide more than just meals—we can offer support, connection, and encouragement to those who need it most.
For any questions, please feel free to contact the church office.
If interested in participating in one of the upcoming opportunities to serve, please fill out the form below so one of our P.E.A.C.E. team members can connect with you.
