The purpose of SERVE ministries is to provide opportunities to meet people at their
point of need. We use our God-given spiritual gifts and talents to transform our
community and world by making the realities of heaven the realities of earth.
Habitat for Humanity gives families a chance to own
their own home and it is up to us to continue the tradition
of providing deserving families with this opportunity.
If we don’t do it, who will?

In the past, we have sent teams to minister to families in the village of Piedra Rajada (Broken Rock). Piedra Rajada is a village of 33 families that our church has committed to sponsor. The majority of the community live in mud and straw homes. Previously they were without running water and electricity. In 2017 our church installed a well in the village so that families no longer have to walk 2 miles for water. Our church sponsorship also assists in funding a community school and health clinic, as well as a feeding center for all the children in the community. Contact the church office for more details on future trips.
