Outreach

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations."
Matthew 28:19
Get involved!

The need for Jesus in our world is great! At Gospel Community, we strive to serve others through strategic partnerships, in training up residents and ministry leaders, connecting with and serving globally, and by living as Jesus’ hands and feet to those who are in need locally.

Global outreach
The Connecting Point's food pantry helps families and individuals in our area who have basic food and personal hygiene needs. The goal of the pantry is to combat hunger, forge solidarity, create gospel-centered relationships that cross racial and class lines, and strengthen the faith and dignity of participants.

We are looking for volunteers who will commit to serving once a month and to praying regularly for our neighbors.

Care Request Form
Are you looking for ways to care for and get to know our wonderful Rivermont community? Every Wednesday morning we open the doors of the Connecting Point and sit down for a warm breakfast with our neighbors. Volunteers and neighbors alike have called this time their favorite morning of the week and say that it feels like family.

Do you enjoy making breakfast for a crowd? Or maybe want to drop some muffins off? Do you have the gift of encouragement or enjoy praying with and for others. If you are interested in joining us one morning or consistently, click the button below.

Adopt-a-Saturday

LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS

Several nonprofit organizations in the greater Lynchburg area are making creative and distinct impacts in the name of Jesus. So, rather than reinvent the wheel, we have identified a few of these organizations and come alongside them in what we call Local Partnerships. We invite you to read more about them and the vital and unique roles they play in our community.

Local Partnership with Gospel Community varies greatly by each situation, but it can include some or all of the following:
  • Prayer Support
  • Financial Support (annual or monthly gifts)
  • Organizational, administrative, and mentorship support

CHURCH PLANTING

Gospel Community’s commitment to church planting is critical in our call to fulfill the Great Commission. We value and believe in domestic and international church planting, and we intentionally seek out men and women who are called by God for this awesome task.
 
You are invited to connect with these individuals and to pray regularly for them and their families. Please also consider supporting their churches with your finances. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt. 6:21). If you believe in fulfilling the Great Commission, we invite you to partner with these church planters.
