Community Outreach & Serving Others Through Esperanza’s Ministries

The mission of the Community Outreach Team is to serve and connect with the community by sharing the love of Christ in meaningful, supportive, and uplifting ways.

Empowered and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we are committed to serve — one another and our neighbor.  Below are some of the places in our community where we do God’s work with our hands.
