Local Missions

There's plenty of work to be done right in our community.

Members of our congregation joyfully serve in the following local missions, witnessing to God’s love and the many blessings they have received through serving God's people.  We volunteer to serve the Lord.

Skeet's Pantry was started by a church member and over the years, the number of families being served has steadily grown.  The Pantry is run right out of our church and serves over 65 families every month with bags of canned foods, fresh produce and hygiene products.  Monthly, church and community volunteers pick up and deliver crates of fresh produce; sort and distribute the bags and restock empty shelves.  Strong, able volunteers are always welcomed at Skeet’s Pantry.

Trenton Area Soup Kitchen provides meals, tutoring and social services for folks in the Trenton area.  Volunteers from our church serve the evening meal once a month, in addition to delivering donated clothing, books, and food and hygiene items.  TASK welcomes us every month as part of the TASK family.
