Regional Missions
Regional Missions connect Faith Church with trusted organizations serving people throughout our community and the surrounding region. These ministries are not operated directly by Faith Church, but we come alongside them through volunteering, financial support, donations, prayer, and ongoing relationships.
Coming Alongside Trusted Partners
Regional Missions may include opportunities to volunteer at a partner organization, participate in special service projects, collect or donate needed supplies, provide financial support, pray for staff, volunteers, and the people they serve, and help raise awareness about needs in our region
Some opportunities happen regularly, while others develop around a specific project, event, or immediate need. Any current efforts will be promoted on the HUB! You can also check out the organizations we frequently partner with below!
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) believes every child deserves a safe, comfortable bed to call their own. Through community volunteers, SHP builds, assembles, and delivers handmade beds complete with mattresses and bedding to children who would otherwise be sleeping on couches, blankets, or even the floor. Their mission is simple: "No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town!"®
Faith Church is proud to partner with our local SHP chapter by serving alongside volunteers during bed build events and supporting their mission to meet a basic but life-changing need.
Bridge of Hope - Centre County
Bridge of Hope Centre County works to end family homelessness by bringing together Christian churches, trained staff, and Neighboring Volunteers to walk alongside families experiencing housing insecurity. Through case management, practical support, and caring relationships, Bridge of Hope helps primarily single mothers and their children move toward stable housing and lasting independence.
By partnering with organizations already serving families in our region, we have the opportunity to encourage, serve, and demonstrate the love of Christ in meaningful ways while helping families build a stronger future together.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Meat Canning
Each year, Faith Church joins volunteers from across the region to participate in Mennonite Central Committee's Meat Canning ministry. Together, volunteers prepare, can, and package nutritious meat that is distributed around the world to families facing hunger, natural disasters, conflict, and displacement.
This is a unique opportunity for people of all ages to work side by side in a fast-paced environment while making a global impact. Every can packed is a reminder that simple acts of service can become tangible expressions of Christ's love for people in need.
