Our Agape Pantry—lovingly built and maintained by our Kingdom Seekers Youth Group—is a 24/7 blessing shed located in front of the youth building on Jernigan Road. It is open to anyone in our community who may need food or would like to donate non-perishable items. This ministry is a simple but powerful way to share God’s love by caring for one another in times of need.

Together, may we be the hands and feet of Jesus—loving our neighbors, meeting needs, and shining His light in Cross Plains.

 

We help to sponsor Billy and Patty James in Guatemala, and also sponsor a family in the Middle East who are working with Adventist Frontier Missions.

Every summer during the Cross Plains annual Trash & Treasures yard sale we hand out free bottles of water and offer literature to the community. 

Every summer we sponsor children from the Cross Plains community to go to Indian Creek Camp.

Every Thanksgiving we have an annual food drive. We put together food boxes for families in our community. We provide everything needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for each recipient family. 

One of the simple yet powerful ways we share the love of Jesus with our community is through our Community Shoe Ministry. Each year, we partner with local families and take children to a local shoe store where they get to personally pick out a brand-new pair of shoes and a pack of socks.

For some children, this is the very first time they have ever been able to choose a pair of shoes for themselves. What may seem like a simple gift becomes a moment of dignity, joy, confidence, and love. We believe this ministry is about more than shoes—it’s about showing children and families that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by God.

Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

Throughout the year we have several community and church social events. An Ice Cream Social, Movie on the Lawn, Game Nights, The Not So Newlywed Game, Fall Festival, Bonfire are just a few.
