Mobile Food Pantry
July 25
Byars Dowdy Elementary School
Meeting Needs. Making Disciples.
We believe Every Person Matters and every disciple is a missionary. Through our Care Ministry, we seek to put those values into action by meeting practical needs, offering support during difficult seasons, and serving our community with compassion. Each ministry program is an expression of Christ's love and an opportunity to point people to Him. Together, we care for others not only because they have needs, but because they matter to God.

Resources
The Mobile Food Pantry is held quarterly as a way to provide necessary resources to those in our local community. No registration or sign-ups are required to volunteer and 75+ volunteers are needed every quarter.
See the events section above for the next scheduled date.
The Salt + Light Missions House is open to the local community to receive resources for themselves and their families free of charge thanks to the donations from our members and community. Monthly collection needs are announced every month to make sure the house is stocked with the items needed by our local neighbors.
The Salt & Light Missions House is open to the public on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
Support
A cancer diagnosis can make you feel isolated, frightened, and often alone. But you are NOT alone. God is there with you, now and always. And we are here too, as He has called us to practice the second commandment principle “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself” so that no one faces cancer alone. Hope Joy Light is a faith-based support group where women (patients, survivors, & caregivers) who have been affected by cancer come together to share their experiences, offer mutual support, learn about resources, and find comfort during a challenging journey.
Hope Joy Light meets the first Monday of the month at 6:00 PM in Owens R100.
Magnolia’s Heart is a support group for women who have experienced or are experiencing miscarriage, pregnancy or infant loss. Join us to experience understanding, support, and community as you walk through the unimaginable.
Magnolia’s Heart meets the second Monday of the month at 6:00 PM in the Anchor House.
Carrying a Heavy Burden?
Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or uncertain about the future. Whether you're facing grief, relationship struggles, anxiety, addiction, family difficulties, or another personal hardship, you don't have to walk through it alone. Anchor Counseling provides compassionate, Christ-centered care rooted in God's Word and the hope of the Gospel. Through biblical guidance, prayer, and supportive relationships, we seek to help individuals and families find healing, encouragement, and renewed hope as they navigate life's challenges and grow in their relationship with Christ.
