Southern Elementary Partnership

2019-PRESENT| FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH

With a strong presence of former and current educators, Faith’s partnership with Southern Elementary starts with our congregation’s general support of education. Our strategy is to say yes as much as possible. It started by agreeing to house a furniture closet and has blossomed into Southern Elementary being an integral part of the way our church shares God’s love with the community.

We host a year-round reading camp for a dozen students, facilitate biweekly free laundry days and holiday food assistance for families, celebrate and support teachers, and volunteer at field days and reading initiatives. These efforts have allowed us to build relationships with families that have led to their larger involvement in worship and discipleship classes! Most importantly these relationships have allowed congregants to encounter God as they engage with others.
