We have a lot of outreach and community support going on here!
The Gospel Garden: The community garden ministry we do at the Rose Center. Last year we provided and grew over 450 pounds of produce that went to our local food bank
Cold Weather and Hygiene Items Ministry: We gather cold weather and hygiene items that we disburse throughout the community to our neighbors who are in need.
Monthly Community Meals: This is back up and running! We always need volunteers to help with this. We typically have it the last Wednesday of the month. We serve between 65-80 people depending on the month. If you would like to volunteer, please sign up!
Harbor Food Pantry: This new outreach is run by our church and community volunteers at the Rose Center every Wednesday at 10:30am. They hand out food boxes that are left over from the senior center in Ocean Shores. This is a new joint ministry with Saron- 1st. Since this new partnership began-and they have helped hand out 6,161 food boxes/bags in 2023! How great is that!
Aberdeen Founder’s Day Parade Pride Float: We were part of the churches that help and were invited to help GH Pride to decorate the Pride Float for Founder’s Day. We wanted to participate, and show God’s love for all people. We were honored and delighted to participate along with other churches and community members. In addition, we help host a “Safe Space Faith Communities” booth at the GH Pride Festival.
The Rose Center: “The Rose Center” is a multipurpose space for our ministries and to host local servant trips, and other local groups needing space. We are hear to be a welcoming and affirming place in Grays Harbor. We are also in the midst of developing the Rose Center use as a place for spiritual direction for individuals and more education and support groups. Some groups that meet there are the local ALANON, Girl Scouts, and more.
Local groups we provide support to via donations and food: Union Gospel Mission, Chaplains on the Harbor, Family Promise, Hoquiam Food and Clothing Bank, Food Ball, Mutual Aid, Harbor Food Pantry, the United Way/CCAP Benevolence Fund and more.
