Passion

Missions. In our own neighborhoods.

What's your passion?

From food banks, to literacy programs, addiction recovery, and more, Compassion Ministry consists of meeting the real, day-to-day needs of underserved people in our communities. But beyond providing surface-level solutions, it’s about answering the question of what it means to be a neighbor. 

As the church shows compassion, we cultivate trust, build deeper relationships, and encounter opportunities to change lives with the Gospel. It’s about demonstrating the love of Christ to our real-life neighbors.  

“Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 

He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” 

And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.” 

-Luke 10:36-37
