Put Action to Your Faith!

Church in Action exists to serve the community with compassion, humility, and love.  We work to offer a wide range of opportunities for individuals, families, and small groups to make a real difference in the lives of others, because everyone matters to God! We want to reflect the heart of Jesus as we strive to be His hands and feet, bringing hope, healing and the message of the Gospel to those God invites us to serve.

We serve the community at local laundromats on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays

Our purpose is to come alongside people in our community as they do their laundry to show we care about them.  We offer to pay for their loads, provide soap and dryer sheets, and bless them with water and snacks. We also look for other needs such as activities for kids while they are there.  We simply hope to show them support, and open doors for conversations about God and His love and invite them to church.
