Majestic Care Nursing Home Outreach
Members of Christ Community reach out to residents of Majestic Care (formerly known as Garden Villa) on the 3rd Thursday of every month, from 4 to 5pm. Through music, a short devotional, and fellowship, they seek to share the love of Christ.
All ages are welcome and no experience is necessary–just a heart tender towards senior adults. As a result of the pandemic, visitors to the nursing home need to be prescreened (have covid vaccine, boosters, etc.). For more information, contact Dan Waugh.

Hannah Center
The Hannah Center provides confidential, compassionate support for anyone affected by pregnancy or early parenting challenges. They offer free pregnancy testing, counseling, parenting and childbirth education, needed supplies, and a 24-hour Helpline to result in a healthy mom and a healthy baby.
Hannah House Maternity Home is a safe place where moms learn valuable life skills, including budgeting, meal planning, and preparing for job interviews. Case management helps them to reach other educational or life goals. It’s more than a place to live. It’s a place to grow.

The Warehouse
The Warehouse is a privately funded non-profit that exists to positively impact our community by providing a safe place for sports, recreation and the arts; using relationship built through these activities to share the love of God through the story of Jesus. It is a hopping place with basketball courts, a weight room, and a skate park that hosts regional skate tournaments. In addition, there is a library, art room, play equipment for younger kids and more! And, if you stop by at the right time, you may see Deonte, our Youth Pastor, out on the courts!
We support the Warehouse financially and through volunteers who have made building relationships with youth at the Wareshouse a regular part of their week.
Visit the Warehouse website for more information, a list of needs, and volunteer opportunities.
