Local Outreach

Loving God, Love One Another, Loving Others
Below are local LOVING OTHERS opportunities that we as a church are happy to serve and partner with. We encourage you to pick one (or any other great local loving others opportunity) in order to spread the love and light of Jesus. Check out the opportunities then simply reach out to the point person who is already involved. The point person can answer questions and help you determine how you can serve according to your availability and gifts.

Opportunities

Raleigh Dream Center

RDC’s mission is to bring hope and restoration to the hurting and broken in the Triangle area. You can serve by bringing seasonal drive items to church, giving out groceries on several Saturdays per month at an Adopt a Block, serving in the RDC warehouse or delivering meals to communities or families in need. RDC is top of the list when local organizations like public schools and others need the relational connections to neighborhoods like during Covid-19.

CenterPeace Marriage Mentoring

The mission of CenterPeace is to proactively build strong marriages through mentoring and yearly encouragement. You can get involved by being mentored or by becoming a mentor. Our engaged or newly married couples benefit greatly from this ministry and the mentoring of further-along couples in the church. We believe it’s important to not just get pre-marital counseling but post-marital mentoring as well! Being able to be real and gather wisdom from an older and wiser couple is a big deal in our world!
