The Outreach Committee is responsible to the Church Council to organize, coordinate, and complete the outreach projects in which the congregation engages in our local community. The Outreach Committee gives persons opportunities to use their God-given gifts and talents to help others. Our outreach activities demonstrate our compassion for others and desire to help others shines through. For those we serve, they can begin to see what life in the Kingdom of God is meant to be. The ones we serve often ask, “Why?” and the answer is simple. We serve because we are Christians who are committed to helping the Kingdom of God be realized on earth as we act as disciples and try to lead others to become disciples.
The activities of the committee are varied and provide members a place to use their gifts and talents in an area that might interest them. We help the homeless through support of the Warrenton Homeless Shelter; Habitat for Humanity; and the Fauquier County Food Distribution Center. We help the needy through our angel tree and adopted families each Christmas; our food baskets at Thanksgiving; our support for student supplies at the beginning of the school year; our support of national programs like Crop Walk and Relay for Life; and other activities like random acts of kindness.
If you would like more information concerning our outreach activities, contact one of the members of the committee. The members are listed on the information table in the social hall.
