MomCo, formerly known as MOPS, is a non-profit Christian minsitry that encourages and equips moms of young children to realize their potential as mothers, women, and leaders, in relationship with Jesus and partnership with the local church.  Over 60 moms meet in our facility weekly for support and fellowship!  For more check out their FaceBook page.

This is an ongoing ministry of our church generally and our children’s ministry specifically. We collect clean white socks along with small food (granola bars or small gift certificates) and hygiene items (lip balm, sample/hotel sizes of soap and shampoo). We put the food & hygiene items into a pair of socks, roll it into a ball, and give the “sock balls” to people at Circle to keep in their cars. When we see the homeless and/or panhandlers, we hand them the sock ball. Supplies for this ministry can be dropped off or picked up from the church every single Sunday morning.

Circle has an ongoing relationship with House of Refuge Sunnyslope (https://www.refugesunnyslope.com/), which provides transitional housing and life changing resources for men, women, and single moms with their children. Their main focus is to provide a safe and sober transitional living environment while individuals are restored through God’s presence in their life, full-time work and fellowship with others. In addition to ongoing service projects and supply collections, we cook meals for and eat with residents.

There are two main areas of focus with our Refugee Ministry. The first is a Welcome Team that is building personal relationships with recently resettled families from Afghanistan, the Congo, and Myanmar.  These families are in the US legally and followed all the rules to get here.  Second, we also collect donations for household supplies that are hard for families to get or afford, and have worked with Gathering Humanity (https://gatheringhumanity.org/) among other refugee organizations.
