Family Promise
Families are now the largest growing segment of the population. Family Promise’s mission is to be in ministry with families and put them back in their home. Beach has adopted Family Promise as one of its top missions. Every few weeks, we host a homeless family on our church campus. We sponsor the family for a week by housing them and feeding them delicious home cooked meals. It is our pleasure to serve the least of these in Jesus’ name. To get connected to volunteering for Family Promise during our host week, contact Calvin Whitaker at calvin1272@yahoo.com or Pastor Jimmy at jimmy.jones@beachumc.org
