We have many different opportunities to serve our community. Here are just a few regular opportunities that we have.
Hunger is real, and more children are going hungry. Many students in our area rely on school lunches for their only real meal of the day, and when they are home for the weekend they may not be getting anything at all. So each month East Brainerd packs over hundreds of bags for students at schools in our area so kids will have something to eat over the weekend. We typically fill our Snack Packs on a Wednesday night at the beginning of the month. Watch the calendar to know when we pack. You can also contact Janice Robertson at janicerobertsonhomes@gmail.com to get involved.

The Transformation Project is a partnership with local law enforcement to help non-violent criminals get back on their feet and find hope in their situation. The project involves Bible based training and mentorship for those who are transitioning out of the prison/jail system. At East Brainerd we host classes and seek to provide mentoring for such individuals.

We have volunteers who serve in both the men's and women's prisons in the area. This ministry is overseen by George McCleskey. If you are interested in volunteering, contact the church office.

On the 3rd Wednesday of each month we host a food distribution event for people in our community. During this event we give out food boxes, toiletries items, and various other things. The give away begins at 3pm.

Warm Coats for Cool Kids is an outreach we do each fall as the weather turns cold to provide warm coats to children in our area. Be sure to watch our calendar every Fall to see when we will be collecting jackets for our community.

We Are The Sermon, or as we call it "WATS", is an annual Service Day here at East Brainerd. Instead of listening to a sermon, on this Sunday we all go out and BE the sermon in our community. We do a wide range of projects to serve individuals and groups in Chattanooga. The goal is to be a light and shine the goodness of God on everyone.
