Outreach

God loves people! God's heart is to meet every person where they are at, transform them with His loving embrace, and restore their hopes and dreams! We live in a day and age where many people are struggling with addictions, relational conflict and hurts that never seem to go away. People are looking for answers.

God's love in us compels us to help, to reach out and to initiate projects and opportunities to help meet people where they are at with the most amazing message ever heard! That message is simply that there is a loving God who cares deeply about people! 

For many people, the Christmas season is a struggle, filled with worry and stress, rather than the joy of the season. Each December, we support local families by doing an outreach called Hands of Hope, where we provide two large bins of groceries (everything needed for Christmas dinner, plus extra groceries for the Christmas season) as well as prayerfully selected gifts for all children represented within those homes. We get to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we reach our community, not just with food and gifts, but with the message of HOPE that can only be found in Jesus. We deliver the food and gifts right to people’s homes and we often have an incredible opportunity to talk, share and pray with the recipients as we get to inspire HOPE in hearts and homes.

You can be the Hands of Hope this year! To see a more thorough explanation of what Hands of Hope is and how to get involved, click HERE (Detailed Video). You can volunteer on any or all of our volunteer teams to help with anything from purchasing gifts to delivering the hampers, by clicking HERE (Volunteer Sign Up). 

Serve Day is a day we set aside to serve our city through many practical projects and acts of kindness all around Kingston. This is a day to “find a need and fill it, find a hurt and heal it”, whether that is picking up trash, visiting a retirement home, coming alongside other non-profits in the city, helping out our elderly neighbors, writing letters to Veterans, etc. If you have an idea for a project you would like to see as part of the next Serve Day, email info@impactcochrane.com. 

At times, we as a church come across needs in our community. It can be anything from a financial need, to food, to a practical need for diapers & formula, furniture or something else. By having an ongoing “Compassionate Care Fund”, we are able to tangibly show the love of Jesus to people in our community by meeting some of their needs. While we can’t meet every need, it gives us the opportunity to help when we feel led to and the opportunity arises.
