AA also meets Mondays at 7 pm at the church.  

The church contributes to the local food banks and has been known for its "UGLY QUILTS" warm bedding made for  the homeless by Sr. Citizens.

In addition to this, church members provide opportunities for young people through "Surprise of Summer" (SOS) offering organized games on Wednesday Evenings in July. weather permitting.  An evening Vacation Bible School  is scheduled during the first week of August from 5-7 pm.
