Community Outreach

Partnering with a Purpose (PWAP)

Partnering With A Purpose was born out of a desire to extend the outreach of Community Free Church through simple acts of love and kindness in our community.

The mission of this ministry is to scatter seeds amongst the people around our Harrisburg area Church. It has begun as an outreach to Lawnton Elementary School, partnering with the school to identify children and families that have basic needs that can be met by the church. From having dinners for custodial employees and support staff to providing Thanksgiving dinner to families in the community, Partnering With A Purpose’s ultimate goal is to touch the lives of everyone in this community through simple, low-risk, high-reward acts of service.

With God leading the way there is no end to the lives that can be touched and changed by Jesus Christ.

Salvation Army Summer Program

Once again this year we are joining forces with the Salvation Army to minister to the kids of the Lawnton and Rutherford communities. During the school year we will be helping to mentor elementary and middle school children in conjunction with the Salvation Army and the local schools. During the summer, we will be partnering with the Salvation Army by being a host site for the Summer Youth Enrichment Program. This is an 8-week program for children K – 8th grade that runs from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday. The children will receive training in the areas of nutrition, relationships, physical activity, and dance along with weekly field trips. As a church we have the opportunity to share the gospel and our lives on a weekly basis, impacting many kids and their families.

Community Fest

Generally in August we host a carnival to celebrate our Neighborhood and Salvation Army families. Everything is free, fun, and tastes good! All are invited to join us for an evening of games, inflatables, food, and making memories.

VBS

Every summer we host Vacation Bible School for Harrisburg area children age 4 – 5th grade. The program runs from 6 – 8:30 p.m. each night and includes Bible stories, crafts, games, and food. Everything is free and all are invited.

We are already looking forward to this summer’s Vacation Bible School!
