Outreach

Outreach is the work applied toward the fulfillment of Jesus's command to “love your neighbor.” The committee recognizes and addresses the needs of the world on a local, national and international level. All of God's creation is included.

Our community ministries include support for Ashe County Children's Christmas Project, Hope Thru a Vision, Department of Social Services for homeless clients, Nest Alliance Bed Ministry, Ashe County Middle School, and Appalachian State Campus Ministry.

Internationally, we support Project Agape. This is a ministry for Armenia's children.

Armenia is a Christian nation of people thought to be descendants of Noah's Ark. They are now a land-locked country with very limited resources and are often warred upon by Azerbaijan.

We welcome everyone to join us in this exciting service to Jesus.

Membership in our church is not a requirement.

“The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 15:40
