Mission
Action: Community Building Team
Our
Community Building Team consists of the members of our church
family who have a serious concern for the issues of our local
community. Much attention is given to the ways that we relate
to other religious groups, other races, and other cultures.
These servants seek to meet the needs of those in our community
with worship and a cup of coffee. They assist internationals
in learning our language even as they share God's language.

Can I Plug In?
Baptist
Peace Fellowship: This group links Baptists
who envision a world of peace rooted in justice to one another.
Resources and training are available to educate and inspire
people of faith to transform their beliefs into practical
action. Clerical help to support the staff is always needed.

Hope
Chapel: Many
of our members arrive early at Hope Chapel to welcome those
who are cold and homeless in our community. With a warm cup
of coffee to offer and a song to sing, these folks donate
their time and supplies to keep this chapel ministry going.
