tenderhearted mercy, kindness, and good news
Our mission is to feed the hungry and seek the lost as we learn to live by the Master's example of love for one another.
Faith in Action
We encourage believers to step outside their personal comfort zone and experience the joy of reaching out to others.
A Culture of Caring
We are changing the way people think about caring for one another by creating a place where needs are met and hope is restored.
Zestos Family
We are a fellowship of volunteers living out our faith, caring for our neighbor by providing food, clothing, shelter, and a variety of resources. We help people access available services they need while sharing the "Good News" of abundant life in Christ Jesus.
James 1:22: "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
