Throughout Ellis County, there are many different areas of needs. There are also many dedicated people who are committed to help meet needs through various humanitarian organizations in our community. As the body of Christ, we want to be more intentional about developing long-term partnerships with these organizations. To do this, we have created the "One for Ellis County" initiative tasked to develop & maintain relationships with these organizations. The purpose of which is to provide an avenue of communication about causes & make opportunities to serve available to our congregation.
