Outreach

We believe the greatest call that we have as believers in Jesus Christ is to share the great news of salvation with others (Matthew 28:19-20). We believe that the best way to do that is by loving God and loving people by meeting their needs and building relationships with them. We encourage individuals and small groups to reach out to those who don't know the joy of salvation through Christ.

We also provide many strategic outreach opportunities throughout the year called local missions projects that create a place for you to serve people and build relationships with them. Make sure that you check back often to find out when and where the next Local Mission Project will be held.

Mission Organization Partnerships: We have chosen to partner and promote a few organizations within the body of Christ at 316 and make information about these organizations and the opportunity to support them here on this web space. Below are links to the organizations that we support and hope that you will do the same.
