Helps Ministry

Our desire is to help those within the body in a variety of ways.  Most needs are met through relationships built through Home Fellowships and also through friendships developed through Bible studies, ETS classes and other ministry involvement. So, we encourage you to become involved in the life of the church in these ways.  The following is a list of some of ways that the Helps Ministry is equipped to help:

• Auto Ministry – We receive donated vehicles and gift them to those in need.               
• Bulletin Board – Posted items both to give away and that are needed.                
• Hands and Feet - See the list of Helps under “Volunteering to Help Meet a Need”.               
• Holiday Gifts/Food – For those in need and for those who have extra to give.               
• Memorial Service Planning – For services held at CCO.       

COMMUNITY RESOURCES

There are times when the helps ministry finds it necessary to refer to the resources available to the community for the Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater areas.  Also those who are not regularly attending CCO but requesting help will be referred to one or more of the Federal, State, or City, as well as non-profit resources in our community.
