Local Ministry Support

We are glad to be able to annual sponsor a number of local and world ministries through financial support:

Gospel Matters

Gospel Matters is a ministry focused on bringing the Christian Gospel to the forefront through intentional action and conversation. They actively Evangelize by engaging their city, Equip Christians to effectively articulate and share their faith, Encourage believers to be intentional in sharing the Gospel, and Engage with non-Christian worldviews through discussion and relationship-building, all centered on proclaiming the hope found in Jesus Christ.   Check them out through their facebook page or on their website. 

Feeding America

Lake County Churches have joined together to distribute 7500lbs of fresh food every fourth Tuesday of the month. This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ and the free gift of salvation, while also providing an opportunity to get to know our neighbors.

Our desire is that local residents will see the love of Christ being clearly demonstrated and begin getting to know Jesus followers in the area. Through these relationships we hope and pray that people will get plugged into believing communities where they will begin and build a healthy relationship with Jesus and Jesus followers.
