Matthew 25 Ministry
A single mom & son need your help - please read below
Hello Small Group Leaders and Groups,
We are excited to share some really good news with you. Through our Matthew 25 ministry, we are preparing to welcome a mom and her son into our transitional home very soon. This is a sacred moment for our church family — a tangible expression of “I was a stranger and you took me in.” We wanted to invite our small groups into both the celebration and the practical preparation of this next step.
Why We’re Reaching Out
As we prepare the home, there are several items needed before move-in. Some of these items can be donated directly, while others are better handled through financial gifts so we can purchase them together.
The reason for this is simple and important:
Certain items (like curtains, rugs, towels, and other household essentials) need to be color-coordinated, sized correctly, and matched so the home feels warm, dignified, and truly hers — not a collection of mismatched leftovers. This allows us to create a space that communicates care, stability, and honor. Other items are perfect for direct donation, and we’d love for groups or individuals to take ownership of those.

Thank you for being a church that doesn’t just talk about loving people — but actually prepares a home for them. This is the gospel with furniture, towels, groceries, and open doors.
Grateful to walk this road together,
