Missions

Engagement and service within the community. We identify a need then empower the church to be the hands and feet of Jesus. This is important because others witness acts of kindness, which we hope they will emulate.
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25: 40 
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1: 8

We are continuously collecting clothing for the homeless at our Missions Table.

We have opportunities for adults to feed and clothe the homeless at
PiN Mon-Fri 1-4PM, Sat 11:45 AM - 3:00 PM & Sun 12:30-2:30. Sign up page:
First Saturdays (Every Month): Adults and supervised children 10 and over can volunteer at PiN on the first Saturday of the Month 3-5 PM, sorting clothes, packing lunches and other “behind the scenes” work not in direct contact with the homeless.

We are starting a second Saturday (every other month, on odd months) at PiN for anyone wishing to personally feed and clothe the homeless.  We will serve from 12:00 PM through 3:00 PM. Coming in 15 minutes early helps us to open the doors at 12:00 PM.  We can serve the homeless in various roles:
-Service Desk: Help the homeless sign up for various services for the day and organize paperwork.
-Personal Shopper: Help them locate clothing in the proper sizes and gather hygiene supplies.
-Shower Moderator: Watch the timer and help the homeless get towels and hygiene supplies.
-Laundry: Help the homeless use washing machines.
-Server: Serve food at their tables and make sure their coffee stays full :)
The lunch we serve will be prepared by the Journey Church.  

We meet at 1164 Miller's Ln, Virginia Beach, VA 23451
