9:00AM - 12:00PM

CALLING ALL NEIGHBORS! You're a good neighbor, and if you're like us, you want to leave your community better than you found it.

The Good Neighbor Project is an annual event where we take a Sunday to leave our communities better than we found them. We believe that Jesus cares as deeply as we do about our communities; because of that, we want to roll up our sleeves and help where we are needed.
