Stepping Forward is a ministry of Faith Community that helps equip low-income individuals and families with skills, tools, and relational support in order for them to achieve a higher level of self-sufficiency. Every Tuesday night Stepping Forward offers a free community dinner, life skill classes for adults, a computer lab, assessment and referrals to needed services, and children’s programming for 0–18 year-olds including homework help. 

In addition to job and life skills classes, Stepping Forward also offers a variety of FREE care classes and groups to help provide support, hope and strength to parents and families in our local community.

Ways to Serve: 

Table Hosts (Tuesdays from 6:00-7:00 pm) are part of our weekly #sharingthelove outreach. Sitting at a table and enjoying a meal together is a great time to share encouragement, testimonies and prayer. Some of the people who come are lonely. Others have health issues and need prayer and healing. Some do know Jesus by name, but their experience of the Good News is either weak or challenged by the difficulties of life. Are you a good listener? Or would you like to become one? Either way, this would be a great opportunity to share God’s love in a very practical way.

In addition to Table Hosts, other opportunities to serve include welcoming guests, helping with dinner (cooking, set-up or clean-up), staffing the computer lab, helping in the children’s homework room, engaging with kids in our nursery, children’s or youth rooms, and providing referrals (training required). Note: Time commitments vary depending on the area where you serve, but it would be during Tuesday evenings.

Around the Country

For many years, a group of volunteers from Faith Community and Olive Branch UMC have been traveling to Mississippi to help families recover from hurricanes, flooding, and poverty. Olive Branch is a rural Methodist church near Wilmington, Ohio that started the trip due to family connections in Mississippi. We have created a great bond of friendship and service between the two churches as we plan our trips and work side-by-side for a week each spring.

 We are lucky to have some very knowledgeable and skilled people in our group, but the majority are learning with willing hands and hearts. We believe that mission work allows “Love God and love your neighbor” to become real in our lives. Helping others that have so little and yet are happy in their love of God makes you reevaluate your priorities in life.

The Mississippi group works with the First Methodist Church in Picayune, Mississippi as well as the Epworth Project in Slidell, Louisiana. We vary from 12 to 20 men and women between the two churches. We welcome anyone to our group that is answering God’s call to help others and a willingness to work hard to accomplish great things.
