Each year Faith Ministries participates in Operation Christmas Child.  Our congregation is dedicated to helping to make a positive and loving impact on the children of the world.  In 2014, we started with a commitment of just 20 boxes.  We continue to up our commitment goal each year. In 2016, 180 children received the love of Christ through of donations of Christmas Boxes.

Our ministry of love on the local level takes on many forms.  Faith Ministries provides hot meals through the Ecumenical Assembly and the Salvation Army.  Our members also serve the homeless through our Faith Ministries initiatives supplying food, shelter, tents, blankets, hygiene kits and any other needs that arise.  Our responsibility is to REACH OUT wherever and however we can.

Have any extra change?  You know those pennies and dimes in the bottom of your purse or the change you keep in the tray in your car?  We want your change!  This ministry partners with Heifer International to purchase flocks of chickens for families of the world.  Through our donations, a family becomes self-sustaining and is required to help other families by giving them chickens.  Our ministry has purchased over 35 flocks of chickens just through loose change.

Many who need help and support through the local food bank often have limited funds and must choose between food and laundry detergent.  This is what Sister Rose Hamlin, the founder of the Soap Ministry, saw each day she volunteered at the local Food Bank.  To address this need, the Faith Ministries Soap Ministry was born.  We repackage donated laundry detergent in 16 oz.  water bottles for families to receive for free when they visit the Food Bank.  Each month we deliver up to 600 bottles to the Food bank.  We are not only helping others but saving the environment through the recycling of plastic water bottles.

Our commitment to health and wellness includes our garden. Volunteers donate their time to work the garden and harvest the crops for the congregation.  Our temples need health and strength to serve God.   “Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.  And it was so.”    ~Genesis 1:11

Faith Ministries is involved in many more opportunities to serve.  Some include our Greentree Assisted Living outreach where we have bible study and devotions each Friday. Also on 1st and 3rd, we fellowship with our senior community with Sunday worship services.  We are concerned about our environment and are doing our part in making it a healthy place for our children and grandchildren.  Our members participate in keeping State Road 46 litter and debris free.  Health and Wellness is not only for our congregation but our community host Dining with Diabetes Workshops in partnership with Purdue Extension Service where we offer scholarships to make sure anyone who wants to attend can.
