MEMBER RESPONSIBILITY...GET INVOLVED!!!
As a member in the local body of Christ you should get involved in our different ministries in the church. Among others are; three dynamic ministries which are linked to one another. They are as follows:
THE BIBLE KNOWLEDGE MINISTRY which edges our members to read and understand the Bible for themselves to see “whether those things were so” Acts 17:11.
THE PRAYER TOWER MINISTRY sets our members on the tone to “pray without ceasing” I Thessalonians 5:17.
THE RELATIONAL SUPPORT MINISTRY gives our members a sense of belonging as well as enriching their relationship with their neighbors. We always need to love and encourage one another. It is very important that all members engage themselves in at least one of our ministries.
FOOD AND CLOTHING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Plans are underway to provide food and clothing to the needy on biweekly basis. Our goal is to eliminate hunger in our community. The food assistance program will serve as an emergency food program for those in immediate need due to temporary setbacks. Our clothing assistance program will help bring “life” to the needy. We also reach out to the homeless and the residents in shelters in order to keep them warm if needed.
Please call (718) 860-1353 to find out how we can be of help to your family, and love ones, or someone who is in need of our services.
