Community & Outreach

Loving our neighbors, serving our city, sharing the Gospel.

Why We Serve

Jesus didn't just preach—He fed the hungry, healed the sick, and met people right where they were. That's what we're called to do. We believe the Gospel is best shared when it's lived out loud—when we roll up our sleeves and serve our community with no strings attached.

Whether it's a hot meal, baby supplies for a new mom, or just a friendly face and a listening ear, we want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in Janesville.

Our Family Strong theme drives everything we do this year—strengthening families in our church and our community.

Baby Shower

Supporting New Parents

Welcoming a new baby is exciting—and expensive. Our Baby Shower program provides diapers, wipes, clothing, and essential supplies to new and expecting parents in our community.

If you're expecting or know someone who could use support, reach out. We're here to help celebrate new life and lighten the load for families.

Covering Our City in Prayer

We believe prayer changes things. Our prayer walks take us into the streets and neighborhoods of Janesville, praying for our schools, businesses, families, and local leaders.
