How We Serve
“I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” – Matthew 25:35
More than a place to sit or find shelter, our drop-in hours create sacred space for rest, conversation, and community. We open the doors of the Church so all may find belonging — not as clients, but as neighbors, friends, and fellow children of God.
“But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind...” – Luke 14:13
In keeping with ancient Christian practice, we offer meals in memory of the departed, inviting the poor and marginalized to join in prayer and remembrance. These meals are not acts of charity, but sacramental encounters — shared in love, grief, and thanksgiving.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4
We accompany our community even into the grave. Whether a person dies surrounded by family or alone, we offer burial prayers, funeral services, and sacred remembrance, honoring the dignity of every life and trusting in the Resurrection.

“Even to your old age, I am He... I will carry and save you.” – Isaiah 46:4
Each week, our elders gather in a quiet space to knit, share coffee, prepare meals, and enjoy fellowship. This time offers purpose, joy, and spiritual nourishment in the later seasons of life — a witness that no one ages out of belonging.
“Let the little children come to me... for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” – Mark 10:14
We welcome children and families into our Monday gatherings, providing academic support, mentorship, and encouragement. The presence of young people brings life to our community — turning our programs into a true intergenerational parish household.
“I was sick and you visited me.” – Matthew 25:36
Modeled after the healing ministry of Christ and the unmercenary saints, we offer basic, compassionate medical care during drop-in hours — restoring health and human dignity through pastoral medicine rooted in mercy.
“If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet... you also ought to wash one another’s feet.” – John 13:14
Through skilled nursing and education on diabetes and foot care, we offer hands-on care for our brothers and sisters — especially those who walk long roads alone. This ministry honors the body and proclaims the worth of each person.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2
Many in our community carry wounds of grief, addiction, abandonment, and trauma. Through spiritual counsel, listening presence, and prayer, our clergy and volunteers walk alongside the suffering — reminding them they are never alone.
“Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” – Philippians 2:4
We are discerning how to build sustainable, dignity-affirming work opportunities for community members. Any initiative will reflect our vision of shared responsibility, mutual flourishing, and Gospel-rooted economy.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” – Psalm 147:3
We are working toward offering trauma-informed, spiritually grounded psychotherapy, especially for those who have been wounded by modern systems of care. This ministry will uphold the dignity of each person, offering healing through love, faith, and clinical excellence.
We pray
Wrap up the evening with a peaceful prayer service, where community and reflection come together in a warm and intimate setting. Stay and connect with others, as this quiet moment often sparks a deeper connection to faith and community.
