For far too long the church has been known for what it’s against. We want to be known for what we are FOR.

We are FOR The Emerald Coast. That’s why each month we’re partnering with a non-profit that’s making a difference in our community and helping them go further, faster.

Change a family's life by partnering in two ways with Shelter House.

1. Give to provide meals for resident families by clicking here or go to your Church Center App on your smart phone. Approximately $7,200 annually/$600 monthly/$150 weekly allows us to provide two hot, nutritious meals each week to families staying in our shelter, offering comfort, stability, and dignity during a time of crisis.
2. Serve on a team to paint, pressure wash or do yard work  on Saturday, April 18 from 8am-12pm.
