Fellowship that touches souls...

Community Outreach is the festive arm of the Community Ministries coalition. Reaching out into the community in many different ways, our most notable festivities are the Annual Thanksgiving Street Banquet and the Christmas Street Banquet.

Each of these banquets provide meals to the homeless, poor and needy, but more importantly, allows the community to fellowship together to meet each others needs.

The Mission typically serves between 1,500 to 2,500 traditional holiday meals at each banquet. Music and testimonies present the Gospel Message while guests enjoy their hot meals.

Activities for children create a festive and enjoyable atmosphere for all. Christmas gifts are also provided to children at the Christmas Banquet.

Food... Fellowship... Gifts... And more...

Last year we were blessed to serve over 2700 meals at our November 21, 2007 Thanksgiving Street Banquet.

Then we received an even greater blessing at the December 21, 2007 Christmas Street Banquet. Over 500 families attended the party where 3,000 gifts were given to over 1,495 children. 2,025 Christmas meals of turkey and over 2,200 hot dogs were also served.

Truly, God works wonders through people willing to lay aside themselves and minister to The Least, The Last, and the Lost in our Community.

Last year over 650 volunteers came together to prepare and serve the meals at both banquets, as well as help with the festivities for the children and adults.
