Ministries
Along with our weekly worship services, Sunday School, and bible studies, we offer opportunities to minister in many ways.
We reach out to the community through active participation in the Fairview Heights Clergy Assn., Fairview Heights Area Food Pantry, Kids for Christ, Homeless Backbone Committee, Catholic Urban Programs, Beacon, and Call for Help. We make & take lunches for East St. Louis Marginalized each month, in addition to collecting & distributing leftovers from Panera's Bread, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut.
Food Pantry
Donations of items and cash always accepted for our small food pantry.

Homeless / Low Income
We prepare lunches for the marginalized in our community from 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month. Come and help make &/or deliver them with us.
We collect socks - single ones, pairs, holey, new or any kind. The socks are used by the homeless to prevent frostbite better than gloves or mittens. Coats & blankets also appreciated.
Working with Neighborhood House and CUP, we collect school supplies to be distributed at their annual filled back pack give away.
Other Ministries
We also reach out to local hospitals and nursing homes and get involved in environmental causes as well.
Bring your used or new shoes and drop off at our collection site out front.
