Be a Neighbor
Have you ever felt the desire to do something good — but didn’t know how to begin?
Have you ever sensed that, as a church, we are called to care for our community together?
Scripture calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Yet often we may not even know who our neighbors are.
We are forming a Community Service & Outreach Group to support and encourage members who want to care for the people God places in our path.
We are not creating another program.
We are cultivating a posture.
Together, we have more eyes to see needs, more ears to listen, and more hands to serve.
Would you like to be a neighbor?

Who We Are

A prayer-centered community
A place to share needs and opportunities
A support network for short-term service efforts
A space to celebrate testimonies
A bridge between church members and community needs

We act prayerfully, wisely, and together.
Our Biblical Model
Luke 10:25–37 – The Good Samaritan
A neighbor:
Goes out of his way to help
Brings others to where better help is available
Does not expect recognition
Knows when to ask for help
Follows up with care
Sees need before labels
Acts when opportunity appears
We desire to grow into that kind of church.
How It Works
We operate through a WhatsApp Community platform where members can:
Share prayer requests related to community needs
Post observations of people who may need help
Coordinate short-term service opportunities
Share testimonies and praise reports
Propose new outreach ideas
There is no pressure to participate.
You are not obligated to take on responsibilities.
We simply ask that you remain prayerful and open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Who Can Join?
Any attendee who participates in our Sunday services and/or fellowship gatherings may join.
This group is open across all congregations (CM, EM, MM, GM).
Our pastors are present for spiritual guidance but do not supervise daily interactions.
