The Sparrow's Nest is a gathering place for people in need and for people who want to share God's love by helping others. We are motivated by Jesus and desire to follow him as he expressed his mission in the book of Luke:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, and that the time of the Lord's favor has come. Luke 4:18
Sparrow’s Nest weekday ministries include food, clothing, showers, laundry and other types of assistance for those in need. Our evening ministries include tutoring and special activities for children, youth and young adults. Our weekend activities include a Saturday breakfast for the homeless and a monthly workshop designed to help people deal with challenging issues and reach for new goals in life.
