Erie Area Outreach
Our hometown & nearby region. Those who live and work in our vicinity.
These folks, in our own backyard and just beyond, are in need of the loving touch of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Upper Room
| On the 4th Sunday each month, a team of people serve a hot meal to the homeless and disadvantaged people of Erie at the Upper Room. The Upper Room is a day-time shelter which ministers to the homeless and is located at St. Paul’s Church of Christ at 11th and Peach. The meals are prepared at Christ Church and then transported to St. Paul’s Church. This is an opportunity to not just feed the homeless a hot meal, but to minister to those who are homeless with compassion, grace and mercy in the name of Jesus Christ. |
