Monthly Mission:
Family Promise
Family Promise of the Jersey Shore helps local communities address the root causes of family homelessness. They address the issue holistically, providing prevention services before families reach crisis, shelter and individual needs based programming when they become homeless, and stabilization programs once they have secured housing to ensure they remain independent. They tap existing local resources to empower families towards economic stability. Families come to them in crisis; they help them rebuild their lives with new skills and ongoing support. Your monetary donations assist Family Promise in this ministry. LBI Churches invites homeless guests into the Terrace Campus for eight weeks during the year for hospitality. During those weeks we also ask the congregation for extra support in the way of gift cards, bed set-up and break-down, and linen washing. All of your efforts and gifts are appreciated.
Monthly Mission:
Native American Sunday
United Methodists are called to recognize and honor the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society and church. The United Methodist Church acknowledges a gap in understanding Native American life and culture, while affirming the sacredness of Indigenous peoples, their languages, their unique identities and their contributions to the church and the world. Contributions help develop and strengthen Native American ministries within each United Methodist annual conference and provide scholarships for Native Americans pursuing ordained or licensed ministry.
Ongoing Monthly Mission:
