Helping the Hurting in our Community

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

"I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:35-36,40

This ministry exists to facilitate the Fellowship of Christ family in the exercise of the gift of helps, through the expression of scriptural support and loving care to the community who are experiencing urgent emotional, physical, and spiritual crises.

Presently, we have a prison outreach headed by Geri Williams. In the past, we have aided in the aftermath of disasters such as Hurricane Floyd. Also, various groups within our church have reached out to the elderly by visiting nursing homes.

If you would like to "do unto the least of these" through one of our present ministries, please choose one of the links above to find out more. If God puts on your heart a burden to minister through a different avenue to those hurting in our community and you want to do that from within FOC and ask others to minister with you, please contact Pastor Gary to help put the ministry in place.
