Christians in Action/Service Opportunities

 

Our mission motto at Family of Christ is Making Disciples Making a Difference. God calls all of us together to be God's hands and feet to serve in a world of hurt. Each month Christians in Action (CIA) places one or more ministries in the spotlight, and invites your participation.
