We respond to our faith in Jesus Christ, and we are empowered to do what will bless others with his love and invite them to join with us. We want to demonstrate that God is at work in our lives in blessing us to be a blessing.
Also, we want others to feel encouraged to bring new ideas, and new gifts and graces, to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people around us. People need a purpose that is God-given and the church is the place to go to be helped and to help do that.
Below is a list of things we would like to invite people to join in or come alongside to do with us. Contact us for more information!

FOOD TRUCK
Once per month, we are able to work with the Food Resource Bank of Springfield to distribute food to families or individuals without them proving their need. This is usually scheduled on the last Wednesday of each month from Noon to 1 pm in our church parking lot. Anyone, young or old, can help us feed hungry people. |
CARING KITCHEN
Once a month on the 4th Saturday, a hot meal is prepared for the Caring Kitchen shelter in Urbana. We need volunteers to take the food from our church and serve it to the people who come from 11 to Noon for lunch. We fellowship with them and show our interest in their lives in the same way we would like someone to do for us.
WEST LIBERTY CARES
This is the emergency help network for the West Liberty-Salem school district area. The Food Pantry is open every Wednesday for families to use this service once per month. Our church is responsible for helping distribute food during the months of May and November. Year-round, we help refer people locally for financial emergencies as well as provide funding in partnership with the local churches in the area.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Every summer we join forces with West Liberty UCC and West Liberty Presbyterian churches to host a week-long VBS for Pre-K to Grade 6. We sponsor a Mission Project that the children and the churches are encouraged to support. We teach important life principles, encourage new relationships, and invite them to a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have a final evening for the kids to show parents what they have done together and we have a joint worship service for the churches to celebrate. |
