Mission Statement for Salt and Light Outreach Ministries
Our greatest desire is to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We know that a community is only as strong as its weakest link. Salt and Light Outreach Ministries exists to glorify God, and God alone, by living out the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:13–16—being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Our heart in all of this is to come together in fellowship, prayer, and worship, to grow as disciples of Christ, and to live out His love in tangible ways within our community. We desire to grow in Biblical Love together.
We gather not only to study and share the Word of God but also to share meals, encourage one another, and create a place of belonging for all. We especially extend our hands and hearts to the poor, the broken, the addict, and those facing mental health challenges—believing that the Gospel must be lived as much as it is preached.
Through compassion and action, we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus, meeting both spiritual and practical needs, and shining His light so that others may glorify our Father in heaven.
