We partner with Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful by adopting a one mile stretch of roadway on Lithia Pinecrest Rd in front of our church building. We take great pride in helping to keep our community beautiful!

Ending Homelessness One Family at a Time

​

Family Promise of Hillsborough County allows a family to remain together while they work to escape homelessness. Several times each year, Grace transforms into a home and we welcome our Family Promise guests as we partner together to end homelessness.

The Florida United Methodist Children's Home was established in 1908 to provide a home for orphans and other children that had nowhere else to live.

Today it serves as a diverse ministry with two campuses that include residential, therapeutic group, foster and emergency shelter care. The Home also provides independent living assistance and a community child care center.

Ministry of Hope is a local mission in Lithia which serves those in need by providing food, clothing, and household goods.

​

Contact the Church Office by email or phone (813-661-8858) to connect with this ministry.

Pinecrest Elementary School is our school partner. It is home to nearly 600 "Pilots" who are focused on being "anchored in excellence." There are many ways to serve at Pinecrest and come alongside the students, teachers and staff.

For more information, contact Pastor Tracie or Mrs. Anica Colon, School Social Worker.

Porch de Salomon is a response to several families and their friends being called into lives of love and service in Panajachel, Guatemala. We strive to bring the first-century church’s spirit of adventure, risk, service, and even fun to those who live in a 21st-century world. Solomon’s Porch was an ancient, open place where people seeking transformation gathered to explore Jesus of Nazareth’s radical message of love and redemption.

Our motto says it all. We want to nourish hope among people in need through the actions and help provided by our local students.

Seeds of Hope wants to provide community service hours that not only touch the lives of people who are struggling but also touch the hearts of local students which may spark an interest in lifelong pursuits of volunteer opportunities.
