1. Angel Tree Ministry...
Thousands of
children with a mom or dad in prison unwrap joy each year with Angel Tree
Christmas (a ministry of Prison Fellowship)—a gift that reminds them they are
valued and loved.
Incarceration
can strain family ties to the breaking point. By providing Christmas gifts on
behalf of incarcerated parents, sending kids to summer camp, hosting sports
camps, and other activities, Prison Fellowship Angel Tree allows local
congregations to extend the hope of the Gospel to families with loved ones in
prison.
In
addition, Angel Tree invites and equips congregations to integrate local Angel
Tree families into church activities year-round, resulting in mutually
beneficial relationships that foster growth, support, and encouragement.
2. His House Children’s Home... is a local private non-profit,
faith-based organization dedicated to bringing healing and hope to the lives of
children in foster care from newborn to 18 years of age. In a beautiful campus
setting with a 232-bed capacity, the organization cares for children removed
from their home due to abandonment, abuse or neglect.
3. Love Life Ministry... is

will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis. They not only
encourage women/couples to choose life but walk alongside them in the process.
Pre and Post birth. They work to connect the local church to be “Houses of
Refuge” where the women/couples can get involved and find a support network
while growing in her faith. The Bridge Church has committed to be a “House of
Refuge”.
