Thrift Shop
As an outreach activity, the Thrift Shop is open during the week to sell items to the community that have been donated to the Church. All proceeds go to outreach activities.

Woman to Woman
This is a prayer and correspondence ministry to women inmates at the Lee County Jail. A woman from the congregation writes to an inmate and sends her a Bible. The letter states that the woman will pray for the inmate whenever she prays for her family. A relationship of correspondence often develops. This ministry has been tremendously sucessful and meaningful both to the inmates and to the prayer partners here.
