Community Outreach

Check here for information about Outreach opportunities for individuals, families, or life groups.

What is Community Outreach?

Community Outreach is how we put our love and gifts into actions. We partner with our local schools and community organizations to serve our community.

A word from our Community Outreach Leader Monica Lim

Whether on your own or with a group, if you are looking to help, here are some resources.

You can also check our calendar to see what we are doing together as a church.
