Ongoing Needs

Food Distribution Ministry

Our congregation provides food to some 10,000+ San Diego residents each year. Through a partnership with grocery stores we are able to re-distribute food to those in need on Friday mornings. Volunteers help assemble grocery boxes, make sandwiches and in pre-pandemic times, prepared a weekly community dinner.

Contact the church office to find out how you can help with our Food Distribution Ministry needs.

Our Border Concerns ministry helps meet the spiritual and physical needs of those living South of the border.  To find out how you can be involved, visit their website.
