In addition, the church actively supports hunger ministries, partners with World Relief in refugee resettlement, and hosts an annual Carefest which involves thousands of volunteer service hours at local schools, individual homes, local ministry partners, and other not-for-profits.

It has a large and active ministry to Hispanic residents of the region, with a full offering of Spanish worship services and other common church programs offered by Spanish-speaking ministers.[2] Additionally, the church has partnered with World Relief to provide accommodation and care for Iraqi refugees.[3][4]
