Outreach

Responding to people in need with the compassion and truth of Christ are values that we hold closely. We partner with other Christ-centered organizations in order to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus.

GIFTS Men’s Shelter

The mission of GIFTS is to show Christ’s love to homeless men in Rock County by advancing renewal and hope through a unified Christian effort. We partner with GIFTS two weeks out of their year to provide meals and volunteers to serve meals, and to stay overnight at the Janesville shelter.

Outreach Prayer

Prayer is the under-girding of all our work. Join us each Thursday morning to pray for our church’s calling in the Great Commission, that all tribes, tongues and nations would know Jesus. Matthew 24:14 says: And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The Rohingya, a people group originally from Myanmar, have been described as the most persecuted minority people group in the world. Our church started praying for the Rohingya in 2017 and since then we have developed a relationship with Rohingya in the area.
