Feeding Ministry

Join us downstairs in our fellowship hall for a delicious meal. To volunteer with our feeding ministry, email us. We offer community service verification and accommodate requirements for non-profits and educational institutions. We are always welcoming volunteers to increase our impact!

Invitation to Ministry

At Holsey T, we believe God calls us all to service.

As such, we have many ministry opportunities that we invite you to.

The invitation to ministry requires compassion and commitment.

We embody compassion because God calls us to love our neighbor. This is sacred to us. Through our feeding ministries, nursing home ministry, emergency food program; and partnerships with health providers, other non-profits, schools, civic offices, and other religious groups there are always opportunities to show compassion through ministry.

Some of the big problems that we care about include the safety of our (expansive) village and liberation for those who are held captive through disenfranchisement, hunger, poverty, systemic prejudice, and underemployment which require our persisting attention and work. We believe that the harvest is plentiful and there is much to do to reflect and multiply the village principles God calls us to.

Please join us! Get plugged in. Find your niche in ministry and be an important part of the village.
