We believe strongly that in our outreach,
we must obey Christ to "love
our neighbor". As a church we believe that one of the best ways to be
obedient to Jesus Christ is to reach out to our neighbors in need.
Therefore we have intentionally chosen to host 7
Alcoholics Anonymous meetings a week, one Overeaters Anonymous
meeting a week, as well as occasionally hosting groups that deal with
other painful issues of life.
Free Clothing Ministry!
We
have two major service ministries to the community that we do because
of the love of Christ. The first is to have the only clothing ministry
in Quincy that is free. We have clothes for all ages available in our
clothing room. If you have a need or know of someone that could benefit
from our free clothing ministry give us a call, (617-471-6806). Our goal
is to provide assistance with
dignity and love. We also ship clothing all over Eastern Massachusetts
and sometimes around the world.
The Ruth School (English as a
Second Language)


Albanian Night Spring 2004
The second is the Ruth School for Learning English, a class open to internationals seeking to learn English and get acclimated to the community. We have three levels of classes, Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced taught on Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and a conversation time on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m.. (During the Summer our schedule may be different.) There is a $30 fee for the book and class. There is also a Bible study for internationals on Monday at 6:00 p.m. We have a fall semester (Sept.-Dec.), a spring semester (Feb.-May) and a summer semester (June-July). Our ESL coordinator is Karen Patchke and has Friday office hours from 9am-12pm. Please call 617-471-6806 for information or to register.
Other Local Ministries
We also seek to support local
ministries and to refer people to help to
the Quincy Interfaith Shelter, the Interfaith Social Service Bureau,
the Esther Senger Center for Compassion, to name just a few.
Alpha

Our Evangelistic efforts are mostly focused on friendship evangelism, with
Christians seeking to tell their friends and neighbors about the Lord.
Our goal is to make the whole congregation focused on obeying the Great
Commission to make disciples of all nations. In addition, we have
workshops and classes for our members on how to share their faith.
Alpha: Our Alpha outreach, which meets twice a year (Fall and Spring)
is intended to meet the needs of those with faith questions or seeking
a better spiritual foundation in their lives. The course, introduced by
a welcome dinner, continues for 10 weeks on Wednesday evenings (and a
one day Saturday retreat). Each evening begins with dinner followed by
a video presentation and discussion of the video. Not only is everyone
welcome to attend but the evenings are designed to make those with
significant questions feel at home asking them.
Quincy Sidewalk Sale - Every
Summer we participate with other
Evangelical churches in distributing bibles, literature and letting
other people know about Jesus.
Please Email or call
the office at 617-471-6806
