Outreach Missions

Be a Better Neighbor

As Christians, we are called to follow Christ’s teachings, come together for worship, and fellowship, and serve so to the spread of the Kingdom of God. At St. David’s, we have many opportunities for you to engage in ministry, and be a better neighbor to those around us.

Explore the offerings below to find a way to become involved. Serving in outreach ministry helps us develop and grow our faith, make new friends, and is an expectation in the body of Christ and allows us to live into our Baptismal Covenant.

The team meets Thursday mornings at 7:00 a.m. We welcome you to join us!

Path to Shine

What Neighborly Looks Like: Mentoring a child is one of the most neighborly things St. David’s does. Every Wednesday from 2:30-5:00 p.m., our mentors meet with kids from our next-door neighbor, Mimosa Elementary. Together, we eat and play and read and learn and make things. Each child is matched one-on-one with the same mentor, so a real bond forms and real progress gets made. We’re always seeking new full-time mentors, substitute mentors, and snack providers. If you want an experience that’s fun as well as meaningful, please complete the form below and check "Path to Shine." We are still looking for one more mentor for 2024-25.

Blood Drive

Six Mercies Ministry

Each Monday from 1:00- 3:00 p.m. we open our doors to those in our community that are in need of assistance. We interview each one, determine the need and try to bring hope to all that come. We have a team of two during each time period. We are flexible and will work with you on hours. We also need volunteers to stuff toiletry and snack kits. You are welcome to be with us on Mondays to discern if this is a way you would like to serve.

Come serve – meet new volunteer friends and neighbors. You will not be disappointed!!
