Who We are
FaithWorks encourages people to live out their faith with action. We might be holding a hand while someone is dying, praying before someone goes into surgery, or listening to someone in crisis. We might be picking up a piece of litter, hammering a nail, or painting a wall. We might be planting a seed, mentoring a child, or driving someone to the doctor. FaithWorks can be different things to different people…an opportunity...an angel in a time of need…a resource. We offer hope, encouragement, love and support.

- providing support and encouragement for cancer patients

- helping those who are homeless develop skills to become employed
