Many churches have people who are passionate about feeding the hungry in their city, and they feel the need to start a food pantry - so they do. The youth group adopts a neighborhood, the seniors read to the kids at the school, the women's ministry serves food at Thanksgiving, the men start a remodeling ministry and on and on it goes. All of these things are wonderful but here is the problem: spreading out the leaders, resources and man-power will exert maximum effort while achieving minimal impact.

Upcoming Opportunities to Serve the City 

• February 18th, 9AM-Noon at the NE GA Food Bank.  Volunteers, please wear closed-toed shoes.

At Compass we have decided to flip this model of Church Outreach on its head. Rather than spread everything out, we're focusing! We are concentrating all our efforts on several strategic community outreach partners that are already knocking it out of the park in our city! Currently, Compass is partnered with three different organizations in the city of Athens. Our goal is to continue to reach out to our city through partnerships that are making a difference.

Our three strategic partners are The Food Bank of NE GA, Fowler Drive Elementary and Habitat for Humanity.
