Ways To Give
Donate/Weekly Offering
The Fellowship Family has many ways that it gives to the community. However, it also needs to support the work of the ministry inside the walls of the building, including its staff and the ministry’s operating expenses. By giving directly to the work of the congregation, the mission and ministry of the Fellowship Family can reach even further.
School Supply Collection
The Mission Ministry Team is collecting school supplies to support the Applewood Housing Community’s children. Suggested items are located in the graphic. If you are unable to purchase the items on your own but would like to contribute, monetary donations are also being collected – a mission ministry team member will shop on your behalf. The deadline to donate is Tuesday, August 15.
