We participate in civic functions as we reach out to the business
community. In addition our church is involved in local business
expos witnessing and providing evangelism materials.
Our church campus is
the location for the community Head Start program. We also partner
with the San Diego Food Bank and
Treasure Box to provide
a food distribution ministry.
Food Distribution
In times of economic
downturn we have opened a church food distribution room for our
community. Every Wednesday and Friday evening the pantry is open for
free food distribution.
We are also a food
distribution center for
the San Diego Food Bank the 2nd Friday morning of each month from
9:00 - 11:00 a.m. Any resident of National City who meets certain
financial criteria may receive free food. Three hundred fifty of our
neighbors receive food for their families. Over 1100 people benefit
from this program.
