Purpose
Local Community Outreach

Our group sets up local outreach opportunities to reach the lost in our community. Whether we are serving with a local ECC ministry partner or engaging in service projects, treasure hunts, or street evangelism we’re just looking to love and share the gospel with those around us. We will set up outreaches once every quarter (spring, summer, fall, and winter). The day, time, and location will vary based on what we are doing for that specific time. All ages are welcome to join on any outreach we offer! We are families with young kids. By joining this group you are not committed to every outreach, but this group gives us a way to send you the information about our outreaches. We are expectant to see how the Lord will move and use us.

  • Quarterly Meetings - The day, time, and location will vary based on what we are doing for that specific quarter.

There are also various festivles that take place in the area that we attend to be able to pray and minister to people.
