SERVE OUR COMMUNITY

Christ the King is involved in a variety of outreach ministries allowing you to serve the Lord!

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-36

Outreach Ministry

The Outreach Ministry mission is to help and support those in need in our community. Outreach provides financial assistance to individuals and supports community organizations involved in providing food, clothing, shelter to those in our community in need, rehabilitation to wounded veterans and human trafficking victims, and Christmas gifts to needy children.

We always need volunteers to stay with the families during the day and at night, and people to provide the evening meals for the families during the hosting week.

We always need donations for breakfast, lunch, fruit, and snacks. Please help replenish our pantry by donating Walmart, Publix or Target gift cards. Purchase them at the Scrip table in the fellowship hall on Sunday mornings and pay down the church mortgage at the same time!

Family Promise Volunteer Orientation & Training is offered monthly at the Family Promise day center located at 3335 Hutchinson Road, Suite D, Cumming. You will need to go through this orientation and training along with getting a background check done if you want to volunteer to interact with the families or be an overnight host. If you are interested in volunteering and have not received the training, please contact Lu Leeds.

You DO NOT need training or a background check to supply meals.
