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 caring for widows, orphans, the hungry, homeless, those in prison, and other vulnerable groups such as foster children, victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, the elderly, and single moms.
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.
Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself unstained from the world.

James 1:27

North Charleston & West Ashley

Dream Center Operating Cost

Seacoast operates Dream Centers at the North Charleston and West Ashley Campuses. These Dream Centers provide resources and opportunities to low-income, homeless, and under-served individuals and families. We provide food pantries, clothes closets, street ministries, and our clinics. Our clinics provide many types of specialty care, dental and vision care, as well as lab and diagnostic care, and a medication program at no cost to patients who lack access to insurance and are living 200% below the Federal Poverty Level.

Our Dream Clinics served over 300 patients this quarter.

Pray for our pastors, staff, and Dream Team as they serve people in greatest need in our community. Pray for wisdom, discernment, and strength. Pray that the Dream Center maintains an open door to share God’s love.

Acts 4 Benevolence Fund

Many Seacoast families struggle to meet basic needs. When families reach out to our Pastoral team for assistance, we have a unique opportunity to come alongside them in their time of crisis. Increasing our benevolence fund will allow us to serve those in need at all campuses.

Pray for our pastors to have wisdom and compassion as they provide assistance and counsel to families in need. Pray for the families to see God’s love and provision and that he will break the cycle of poverty.

Bringing e3 mentoring to more campuses

The E3 Mentoring Program helps create life-giving and empowering relationships between a mentor and child. Leaders are matched one-to-one with students (grades 6 – 12) to personally pour into their lives and help them chase their dreams.

Students are mentored in academics, life skills, and service. Their efforts are recognized and rewarded with unique travel opportunities. Many students participate in the life of the church, and several former students are now thriving leaders in our campus community.

Local law enforcement attributes much of the positive change (the dramatic lowering of crime and the increased high school graduation rate) in North Charleston over the last decade to the influence of the Seacoast Dream Center and E3 Mentoring.

Currently, 65 students participate in the program.

Pray for peace as they navigate tough situations and conversations. Pray for open doors for Seacoast and even bigger impact for the Kingdom.
