Urban Ministry

JACKSON PARK MINISTRIES

This ministry serves the Jackson Park area and the surrounding community as a haven for the less fortunate and the addicted.  With a solid biblical approach, its hope is that families will be restored as lives are changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  One unique facet of this outreach is its Transitional Housing Ministry, where broken families are brought back together under the same roof.  Other ministries include:  benevolence, clothes closet, food pantry, Thanksgiving and Christmas meals/gifts, tutoring, recreation.

How you can help:
Central’s primary involvement is our summer VBS.  We also have a number of volunteer opportunities such as campus maintenance, children's ministries, and counseling.

Ministry to Foster Children

Central's outreach department is collecting donations for our foster children. We will use donated items to fill emergency care bags for children from Mecklenburg County who are removed from their homes due to negligence and/or abuse. We need New, basic clothing/supply items in all sizes in the following categories:

• Boys' and girls' pajamas, underclothes, socks, tennis shoes and dress shoes, school clothes, and clothing appropriate for church
• Baby sleepers, onesies, diapers, receiving blankets, bibs, clothing, bottles and pacifiers, and training pants (Pull-ups)
• School supplies, toiletries, duffel bags (no suitcases please)

For more information, or if you have additional baby items, such as a car seat, high chair, crib/mattress, etc., please contact Ashley Whitener at ext. 6866
