Our Ministries
Our goal is to reach out to our community with helping hands and to be a blessing to others.
​
We have a number of ministries available that will allow you to share and grow with other believers, as well as minister to the world. Some of our ministries are listed below. Other ministries may appear under the "events" tab, or may not be listed online.
Food Collection
Our church solicits donations of food items (non-perishable) for distribution to the food pantry at Catholic Charities on the 4th Sunday of every month.
Preble Rest Stop
Around 4 times a year we setup a table at the Preble Rest Stop on NYS Route 81 and offer free coffee & baked goods.
If people are so inclined, they will leave a donation, but it's not mandatory.
We solicit baked goods from our congregation..
Crop Walk
Our church participates in Church World Services' Crop Walk each year. We collect donations and walk with people from other churches and the local college.
Samaritan's Purse
Operation Christmas Child
Each year before Christmas, the congregation fills shoeboxes with gifts for a boy or girl. These shoeboxes are sent all over the world. In some cases, this could be the only Christmas gifts a child will receive.
LEAH Homeschool Program
Our church is proud to be in partnership with the LEAH (Loving Education At Home) Homeschool Program. LEAH is a Christian organization with a network of homeschooling families meant to build up and support your homeschooling journey. For more information- visit www.leah.org.
