Charity Ministry: Extending God’s Love
The Charity Ministry of Celestial Church of Christ, House of Praise, embodies Christ’s call to serve others with compassion and generosity. Rooted in Matthew 25:35-40, this ministry focuses on meeting the practical and spiritual needs of those facing challenges in our community and beyond.
Through initiatives like food pantries, community outreach programs, and partnerships with local organizations, we address pressing issues such as poverty, food insecurity, and homelessness. Our ministry also provides emotional and spiritual encouragement, reminding individuals that they are valued and cherished by God.
