Sharing the Good News!
Joyfully we share God’s grace with the world. Like a Gift Exchange - Where loved ones share good gifts with one another - we seek to share God's gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ with those around us. Acts 4:13, Romans 10:14-15, Ephesians 2:8-9. Our purpose is to be a GOSPEL-SHARING church.
Local Sharing Opportunities
Being an active and serving church in the Rowlett community is an important part of who we are. God has given us "good works" to do for His glory. Here are some typical ways we share God's love locally:
- Volunteering at Rowlett Need Children's Fund. Participate in food drives and help in any way we can.
- Our youth group brings a monthly music program to the residents at the Rowlett Health and Rehab nursing home.
- Assisting with the Police Department's annual Rowlett Bike Rodeo.
- Sponsoring the Police & Fire annual Softball Game - Read about the game last year HERE. We feed every fire fighter and police officer and their family; provide crafts, fun and games for their children.
- Neighborhood Outreach during Halloween.
- Participate in the Chamber of Commerce's annual Taste and Trade.
- Outreach Christmas Caroling.
