Every month we come together to Serve around North Texas. Some projects are open to families serving together, and others are limited to adults only. If your next step is serving others, join us in one of our upcoming projects listed below.
CORNERSTONE MINISTRIES (ALL AGES)
Cornerstone Ministries is a powerhouse of outreach to the South East Dallas Community. Pastor Chris Simmons is constantly looking for new ways to impact the community around him. We participate in the Saturday brunch that they serve as well as the clothing and shower ministries.
OUR CALLING (ALL AGES)
Our Calling (OC) has been situated very uniquely by God to be a day resource center for homeless in the Dallas area with showers, meals, washers and dryers, and many more resources. The best thing about OC is that they feel the most important thing they can do is point people to Jesus. We work inside the OC building as well as on the Rescue Teams who go out to locate homeless friends.
METRO RELIEF BUS
Metro Relief Bus is a homeless outreach organization that specializes in deep relationships with those on the streets in an attempt to point them to Jesus and provide resources to help them get back on their feet. Volunteers help in making and distributing soup, drinks, bread and toiletry items. There is a heavy emphasis on relationship building and praying with our homeless friends.

Austin Street Center provides safe shelter and meets the basic needs of the most vulnerable homeless. Founded in 1983, Austin Street Center is the largest low barrier shelter in Dallas that serves men, ages 45 and older, and women, ages 18 and older. Each person who finds shelter with Austin Street Center is provided a safe place to sleep, showers, clothing, and meals. Each month our church members clean, prepare, cook and deliver a baked potato meal to Austin Street Center Shelter. This is traditionally the 4th week of the month. As the pandemic has changed many things, this group continues in a modified version in order to provide for the needs of this wonderful ministry Austin Street Center’s goal is to help clients transition from homelessness to independence. #HelpThemHome If you would like more information on this ministry please text POTATO to 972-235-5296 or click here to register.
