Love in Action makes it simple for you to make a difference.

This September through November, we will feature a new opportunity for you to put love into action!

See below for details.

September

During September, we can impact Mountain View Elementary School through ongoing relationships that serve the school and community!

Mountain View:

Our partnership with Mountain View serves one of the most economically and educationally challenged areas of our city. Since 2010, we have sought to be an encouragement to the school and community through tangible expressions of God’s love. Our goal is to build trust and relationships with the staff, children, and families through direct support and involvement. Great opportunities are before us, and there is much to be done!

October

During October, we can give items to help support Kairos Prison Ministry, Restore Ukraine, Agape Women’s Services, and feed the hungry in our community. Items can be dropped off at GFC on Sundays or on weekdays during office hours.
