Outreach

The CP outreach ministry oversees all our community and service events which includes mobile food pantry, soup kitchen shifts, ACTS work day, meals for Project Safe, food drives for Food2Kids and various other community service projects. This year we hope to expand our reach through mentoring local school children.

The goal of this ministry is to meet needs in the name of Jesus by showing others the love we have been shown.  If you would like more information on how to get involved with this vital ministry, contact our Outreach Coordinator, Deby Sorensen via email This email address is being protected from spambots.
