LOCAL MISSIONS
At Plymouth Covenant Church, we want to impact our community by partnering with local organizations to do more and bigger things together than either organization could accomplish alone. Through these partners, we live out our faith by serving others.
PARTNERS
We open up our church four times per year to house, feed, and care for families enrolled in the Families Moving Forward program—an interfaith social service organization that provides emergency shelter to homeless families. As a host church, Plymouth Covenant Church provides overnight shelter in our building and volunteers from our congregation create private sleeping rooms for each family, serve meals, and share fellowship with four families. Our next hosting week is October 14-21, 2018.
Who Can Serve?
Children, teens, adults, families, and small groups are all welcome to serve. Sign up for any of our hosting weeks and make an impact on these precious families moving forward.

Together for Good is a network of volunteers and professional staff who come alongside parents who have nowhere to turn when facing crisis or life stressors. Host families welcome children into their homes temporarily, allowing parents time and space to heal, regroup and regain stability for their family. PCC has 10 host families currently serving. Other ways of serving are respite care for the host family, relational ministry by connecting with the moms, and practical support such as meals, clothing, transportation. This ministry replaces "Safe Families", which PCC partnered with until recently.
If you have an interest in this ministry contact Keith and Kathy Ernst at ernstkeith@gmail.com. Our next informational meeting takes place on October 28th at 5:00 p.m. in the Cafe.
To register for the meeting, please go to the Together For Good website: www.tfgood.org/events

UPCOMING EVENTS
SERVE DAY
Our next Serve Day is Sunday, June 2, 2019. We'll take the church outside our walls and into our community to make an impact through service. Our goal is to mobilize 800-1,000 Plymouth Covenant Church volunteers to serve in and around our community—packing meals, planting trees, cleaning our ministry partners' facilities, and more. Join us!
