MISSIONS & MINISTRIES
Our mission in life is to bring glory to God. We nurture our faith through worship, prayer, fellowship, education, and outreach across all life spans. We serve our community with care and compassion, engaging in both local and global missions and outreach.
In observance of Mother's Day, we will be taking a special collection April 12th - May 10th for
CRADLE OF HOPE, an organization that provides encouragement and aid to single
mothers and their children throughout Montgomery County.
Baby bottles are available in the Narthex - Please pick one up to fill with coins, bills, or checks for this wonderful mission and loving way to honor your mother by helping out another mother.
PROJECT OUTREACH – FOOD PANTRY
T H E J AR E D B O X P R O J E C T
We support our local food pantry serving the Royersford and Spring City communities with food and household items collected as part of our weekly offertory during worship. Members of our congregation serve at the Food Pantry monthly for community distribution.
MISSION FIRST
Our supplemental food donations are shared with Mission First's Food House and Kitchen servicing the Pottstown community.
We held a winter coat drive to collect coats and delivered two dozen coats were the week of February 2nd.
We engaged with The Jared Box Project for our 2025 Advent Mission.
The Jared Box Project has delivered countless smiles, laughter, and hope to children in hospitals across the country
for more than 20 years.
During our November Faith & Fellowship Gathering, congregation members decorated more than 20 boxes. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Congregation members selected a box to fill with activities, toys, and a special message to the box recipient. The boxes will be delivered to surrounding participating hospitals to brighten the spirits and bring the gift of play to young patients as they navigate their hospital stays.
