WE MOBILIZED IN THE PANDEMIC

Over the course of 2020 our church family, communities and nation faced many challenges. Through our CityHOPE initiatives, Care teams, and incredible volunteers across the east coast, our church made a tangible difference in the lives of people who were hurting and in need. From supporting families, frontline healthcare workers and small business owners impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we had the opportunity to serve others and demonstrate the love of Jesus.
