Spring Lake Wesleyan believes in radically loving others, and we seek to live out the words of Jesus- that people will know us by our love. We are committed to equipping fellow ministers to go and serve in our local community.Each year we will be awarding $5,000 in Good Samaritan Grants. Grants are available up to $1,000.
Mission
To provide a source of funds for the congregation at Spring Lake Wesleyan Church to be awarded in order to help those in need. This is an opportunity for you to obtain the funds needed for an outreach project you create.
“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10
Vision
In simple terms we are called to love other people. The thought may seem elementary, but its significance is life changing. As Christians we have the power to drastically change the world around us because of the love and hope that we are able to offer others out of the overflow of love and hope we already have in Christ.
God has blessed us with so many resources, spiritual gifts and talents, so why not give these blessings back to God by serving other in our community?
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” 1 John 4:7
