Welcome to Community Services


 As Christians, we need to follow Christ’s example in meeting the needs of others. The community services department tries to meet those needs -- physically, emotionally, and socially. We do this through programs such as community service centers, Dorcas societies, ADRA, Federations, and inner-city and clothing programs
