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.

In Jesus' Name Food Pantry

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.

Ways to Serve:

  1. Use the CURRENT NEEDS LIST (see below) anytime to donate grocery items.  

  2. Designate MONETARY GIFTS to the food pantry. 

  3. Join a FOOD PANTRY TEAM.
