Care & Outreach Ministries
We are dedicated to providing care for our members and attendees: from prayer ministry, to congregational care, to spiritual care by a pastor and community food bank and beyond. We want to love and support our community and church family the best we can.
MANNA HOUSE Learn More
Manna House is a ministry that began in September 2000, and is sponsored by Russellville First. It is supported by donations from our church members and others in our community. Our mission is to provide food and hygiene items for those who need it and to share God’s love with the hungry of Pope and Yell County. We are located on the corner of 3rd Place and Boulder Avenue.
MORE THAN MANNA Learn More
Any and all are welcome to join in a weekly time of singing, a short devotional, sharing our joys and concerns followed by a free hot meal. Each Sunday beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, this Holy Communion service is open to all. Make plans to come, and bring a friend.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE MINISTERS
Our Congregational Care Ministers are trained laity who work alongside their pastors to provide excellent care for the whole church family. Some of the many support services that we offer include making hospital visits, calling people in need of contact, delivering meals to families with new babies, meeting one-on-one with those in need of a listening ear for prayer and encouragement, offering support to grieving families, and much more. For questions or more information about how Congregational Care can provide support for you, please fill out a CCM REQUEST FORM or call the church office at 479-968-1232.
LOADS OF LOVE
On the 4th Monday of each month from 1:00-4:00 p.m., we offer an opportunity for our unhoused neighbors to do their laundry at the 24/7 Coin Laundry on Arkansas Avenue near the church. We need at least 2 volunteers a month for this ministry. If you're interested as an individual or small group to volunteer, click here.
