This Month’s Highlight
Food Insecurity
Jesus tells us that when we provide for the hungry, we are serving Him. In Tennessee, over 40% of families with children face some level of food insecurity, and minorities and senior citizens are also disproportionately affected. With so many of our neighbors struggling to find food, there is ample opportunity to serve.
In September, we are shining a light on Food Insecurity to connect you to ways you can help feed the hungry around you. Across each of our campuses and at A Night of Prayer & Worship on September 25th, we are partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank, which has been providing food for Middle Tennessee for nearly 50 years. A portion of the proceeds from merch sales will go to aid them in the work they do every day. You can learn more about them by visiting their website.
Each campus is also highlighting another local organization devoted to fighting food insecurity in their area, and the remainder of the proceeds from merch sales will be distributed among each of them. Check out the details for your campus below.
Murfreesboro and Murfreesboro North: Working Mission exists to develop a sustainable foundation for international communities, equipping them, in part, through agricultural programs.

Nonprofits We Support
Thirty percent of our annual budget is given to nonprofits and to fund projects that directly benefit our community. A genuine commitment to Christ is ultimately a commitment to others. Living with this mindset will make a difference in the choices we make, the people we invest in, the way we spend our time, and how we view others.
