Local Outreach Directory
August 2009
This directory was compiled for the purpose of enabling people from Christ Community Church to become better connected with local ministries. It is our hope this directory will give basic information of local ministries so that people may have easy access to these resources. Also, we encourage people to serve God through serving others.
Matthew 25:35- 36; “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
This is not a conclusive directory of all local ministries. Christ Community does not have a relationship with all of these organizations, nor does it recommend them. Christ Community does not claim responsibility for any persons involvement with an organization listed here.
Thank you, Cathy B. for all your efforts in completing this direct
