Making a Difference in Our Communities
While there are many great programs designed to fight poverty and meet physical needs of our communities, we believe God brings hope to the world through the local church. Our Local Missions projects help every life-giving Seacoast campus fight poverty, seek justice and offer hope to the hurting in their neighborhoods and reach their communities with the Gospel of Christ.
Hope
Hope Through the Church
God certainly honors the work of compassionate, good-hearted volunteers, but we seek to raise up and deploy laborers for God’s kingdom – those who desire to introduce people to Jesus by loving their neighbors as themselves.
Love
The Love of Jesus
We best demonstrate the love of Jesus by equipping the church to serve the homeless and vulnerable children and families by creating clear pathways for engagement and partnership.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Faith
The Work of the Gospel
When we meet physical, mental and emotional needs of our communities by fighting spiritual and physical poverty, we open the door for the Gospel to take root. We don’t just want stability for people, but we want them to experience abundant life in Christ.
'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Matthew 25:35-36
