Our Church
Breakfast Ministry

Every Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., our doors open to welcome 175+ our neighbors who are poor and homeless who come from shelters, camp sites and housing in the neighborhood They are greeted with hot, steaming coffee, cold cereal, and the smiles of our volunteers. At 8:30, we serve a hot breakfast of scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage, and toast. And when they leave, they also receive a sack lunch to enjoy later in the day.

Each Tuesday morning, when the Clothing Room is open, we also serve a free breakfast to about 60 of our neighbors. This is a simpler version of our Sunday breakfast, but still satisfies the hunger of those who come.

New Life Heath and Wellness Center

During Sunday Morning Breakfast the Health and Wellness Center is open for anyone who wants to see a physician. We offer free basic medical services -blood pressure, vital signs and prescriptions for colds, flu and other common illnesses. We also offer referrals to specialists and to the hospitals, when appropriate. We often have over the counter and sample supplies of medications which the physicians feel could be helpful. There is a volunteer physician, nurse, and prayer partner on duty when ever the Wellness Center is open. No appointment is necessary to be seen but we can only see a limited number of people each Sunday Morning, so it is wise to get there early (about 7am). Later this year we will be expanding this ministry and moving it to a site next door to the church.
