What We Do At Next Step Community Church
First Steps
Here at Next Step Community Church, we guide people in the joyful process of becoming Christ-followers and then growing in their apprenticeships to Christ. We invite you to come on Sunday, listen to past sermons, and join our membership class to learn how you can partner with God in his work here on Earth. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” If you would like to become involved in providing help to others, we have many opportunities.
In-house Ministries
God has given each of us a spiritual gift to be used in serving the body of Christ. Discover your gift and grow it by becoming part of our worship team, children or teen ministries, hospitality group, maintenance crew, education ministry or many other opportunities. Use our Connect page to ask for more information.
Community Breakfast
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 9 – 10 am, we provide a hot, nourishing meal and an opportunity for our neighbors to feel loved, cared for, and respected.
Volunteers are needed on site to provide information and help folks get set up with stimulus checks, EBT, cell phones, benefits, housing, detox and rehab options, etc. To volunteer let us know on our Connect page.
Showers/Clothing
Tuesdays we provide a hot shower for men and women from 10:00 am to noon and distribute clothing and toiletry kits.
Community Grocery Pantry
Our pantry is open on Saturdays from 9 – 10:30 am to provide an assortment of items, including canned goods, frozen meat and produce. Anyone is welcome, and volunteers are needed from 8:00 – 11:00 a.m. as we help folks pick and pack groceries.
Volunteers are also welcome to join us Friday nights from 5:30 – 6:45 pm in preparing the space and packing bags for our disabled neighbors. Use our Connect page to ask for more information.
Mother/Baby Ministry
Parenting is one of the highest callings God has given us, yet many parents lack the resources they need to care for their infants. We provide formula, diapers, clothing, and other day-to-day essentials for parents expecting a baby or with infants up to one year old.
By appointment. Use our Connect page to send a message to our baby ministry team, donate items or recommend a parent in need.
