In Our Church

Serve

As part of Christ’s body expressed in this local community, we exist to glorify God and to enjoy Him. We delight in His presence because He delights in us. We push into the dark valleys of life because He has freed us from our sin through the work of Christ on the cross. And we serve because He has served us.

As you explore how God has made you, and discover the gifts you have been blessed with, we ask that you prayerfully examine the roles below as a way for all of us to serve Jesus and others together.

Ways to Serve

In Jesus’ Name Food Pantry is part of WEPC’s Mercy Ministry

The goal of WEPC’s Mercy Ministry is to bring glory to God through addressing the basic practical needs of those in the WEPC family and the surrounding community in a biblically sound manner, with wisdom and compassion.

Open: Sundays / 12-1 PM
Mission: We believe that we are to share the love of Jesus with everyone who comes through WEPC’s doors. We do this by getting to know them, listening to their stories, praying for them, and looking for opportunities to help them find opportunities which will lead them to a better situation than they’re currently experiencing.
