The Pink Church: A hidden gem doing amazing things

This church has always had a commitment to outreach, to serving the church neighborhood and the wider community, and that is the focus of a lot of our activities. I belong here because my feeling is that, you know, as a Christian, believing things is one thing, But I think we’re supposed to do something about what we believe in, and this is a church that does things. So, we have a food pantry, we have a huge ministry feeding the homeless right now. We help at Christmas time. We have an adopted families program that serves families throughout Wood County. We have a summer program for kids where a group comes in from, well, they come from all over, but they come and do art activities as well as Bible study with children. We have a rummage room downstairs, and while that does raise money for our Christmas program, it also serves a good purpose in this community because it offers reasonably nice things for the local population at a really good price, so it’s got a double benefit.”
