SERVE THE CITY
SERVE THE CITY
We believe God calls all Christians to show compassion to those in need. Psalm 82:3-4 cries out, "Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Through our local compassion efforts, Central Bible Church seeks to meet the needs of people in our neighboring communities. For more information, contact us.
The Local Compassion Ministry at Central Bible Church exists to provide opportunities and resources for our church body to show compassion to those in need through the giving of financial gifts and through intentional hands-on partnerships with credible agencies that care for the needs of the poor, the homeless and the oppressed in DFW.
