SERVE OUR COMMUNITY


Not to be served, but to serve...

...HOT MEAL MINISTRY

St. Mark's congregation members have been involved in serving the community by providing a monthly Hot Meal at Walteria United Methodist Church in Torrance, CA since 2003!
 "St. Teresa d'Avila's message that we are the hands and feet of Christ on earth describes so well how I feel towards the Hot Meal Ministry..."   
​-- 
Suzana R., Hot Meal Coordinator

"I used to pass by on the other side of the street when I saw someone who was homeless. But, after a church member became homeless and I began going to the encampment where he lives, I started providing food. It is now my pleasure to help people in need."       
​-- 
Joan S., Outreach Committee Chair

...ENCAMPMENT MINISTRY

We take food to the people at a nearby McCoy/Lomita Encampment once a week. There, a team of 5 St. Mark's members get to know the people.  The Covid-19 pandemic brought new challenges to this ministry.

...HOUSING RETENTION

We provide support for recently housed women through the Free Butterflies Women's Circle.  This group meets twice a month to work on goals to stay housed and to
​improve their lives. 
"Having experienced discrimination myself, I love volunteering to help other
women improve their lives."  
​--
Becky A., Leader for Newly Housed Women

"I love the food that this church provides, and I really needed the Bible verse that they included with the hot meal."  Church Member

...GARDEN CHURCH

Picture
 The Garden Church worships in an empty lot-turned urban farm and outdoor sanctuary.  St. Mark’s has partnered with  and helps provide dinner to their community several times a year with a home made “love-baked in” meal.

BEACON LIGHT MISSION

Picture
Beacon Light Mission ministers the love and grace of Jesus Christ to the homeless in the South Bay by providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can receive food, clothing, temporary  shelter, discipleship and spiritual encouragement in their present life circumstances.
"Preparing and serving a full, homemade meal at Beacon Light Mission is one way of living out my passion for helping those in need, especially relating to food."
--Suzana R., Beacon Light Mission Food Coordinator
