creating caring communities

Is there something churches and individuals could do to support people engaged in apartment ministry? Tell us what would make your life easier. We do an event almost every week, indefinitely, and sometimes we run out of fresh ideas to keep the events new and exciting. In the past, we’ve had people from church offer to help us with events by providing something they are skilled at or passionate about, like cooking their family’s secret pasta recipe for everyone. We are so appreciative when someone reaches out to do that, it’s a huge blessing to us and the residents. Additionally, prayers for resilience and softened hearts in our community are always appreciated!

What is something others may not know abut serving in an apartment community? We didn’t realize how welcoming residents would be and also how appreciative they would be for the events we put on. It was surprising to know there are so many people craving community. We are thankful that we get to offer that time of fellowship for many residents.
