Second Street Pantry was established as a community outreach program by just a few church members in 2011. Today, it serves hundreds of community residents facing food insecurity each and every month. We hope that every person who enters our doors feels welcomed, is fed, and experiences the love of Christ through our volunteers. We pray that all who enter leave with a sense of hope and love. Second Street Pantry is located on the church premises.

CONSIDER GRACE
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom & understanding. Ephesians 1:7, 8
When John Newton, a sea captain deeply involved in diabolical slave trading, came to the end of himself, looked to God & lavishly received transforming Grace, he penned these familiar words:
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I’m found; was blind but now I see.
‘Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear & Grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils & snares, I have already come;
‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far & Grace will lead me home.
Grace—God’s sufficient power to become the person He desires; God never demands of us what He hasn’t already provided by His Grace!
