We have 24/7 on-site staff with plenty of parking and security. Some homeless people would really enjoy becoming part of a church family, and that usually involves someone willing to transport. It also involves a church community willing to walk alongside and love on a person who hasn't experienced a lot of love will do something no other agency or support system can ever do. It will allow them to experience God's love, give them identity, purpose, value, deliverance, hope, and that beautiful word, "acceptance". Will you help give Flenniken residents a ride to church? Express interest below. Please note, volunteers may be asked to show proof of a valid drivers license and complete a background check.
