LOCAL MISSIONS
Our community of faith is actively involved in the local mission field. Join us as we seek to be the hands and feet of Christ!
Interfaith Hospitality Network /
Family Promise of Lee County
Interfaith Hospitality Network / Family Promise of Lee County is an interfaith non-profit organization committed to helping low-income families nationwide achieve lasting independence. The Interfaith Hospitality Network, as part of Family Promise, uses networks of congregations and volunteers to provide meals and comprehensive support services to homeless families. As a host congregation, Morris Chapel provides meals for families up to five times per year. The program for one family is limited to 90 days and in that time they are given needed guidance to find jobs, save rent money, complete education courses and restart their lives. IHN is a valuable local mission where faith and good works come together for positive results.

Christians United Outreach Center of Lee County
The Christians United Outreach Center of Lee County meets people at their point of need, following the example of Christ. CUOC strives to develop, implement and maintain programs which provide for physical, spiritual, and other needs while assisting clients to become less “aid dependent.” CUOC offers follow-up care through a local church family at any of their participating congregations.
The Bread Basket
The Breadbasket opened its doors in September 1990. In 1991, 8,358 plates were served. The menu consisted of soup and sandwiches. As time passed, the meal became more of a home-cooked-style meal, which today consists of at least one meat, two vegetables, usually a salad, tea and dessert. Through generous donations from individuals, churches and businesses, an 1,800-square-foot building with industrial cooking equipment was opened on East Chisholm Street in 2002, where they now operate.
