Serving
At Mt. Horeb we believe that because our lives have been reconciled to God in Christ and set free from sin and death, in Christ we are given the grace and strength to be ministers of reconciliation, mercy, and justice here in our community and in the world. Below you will see several of the ministries in which we seek to love and serve.
Serving the Community

Backpack Food Program. In cooperation with other area groups, Mt. Horeb provides South River Elementary School students with backpacks with food for the weekend throughout the school year. They get easy-to-prepare food along with fresh fruit to help them get through the weekends. Church members place bags of food in backpacks for children to pick up on Friday afternoons. They also provide other items to help meet seasonal needs throughout the year. |
