Mission: The Military Outreach Ministry (MOM) was established in July 2015 on the foundation of love to support those serving in the Armed Forces. Our support reminds soldiers that they are covered in prayer and truly appreciated for their daily sacrifices on the front line. The freedom and benefits, we take for granted are not presented without a "price tag". MOM mails CARE packages to the troops packed with basic toiletries, a variety of snacks, candies and reading materials. These packages are a small token of our ongoing support and sincere appreciation to our troops. 

Schedule: Coming Soon

Mission: Our mission is to reach outside of the walls of the church to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to show the love of God through words and action. Since 2001, we have been committed to sharing the unadulterated Word of God, lifting up our Lord and Savior through praise and worship, and offering prayer for the residents, staff and visitors of Summit Park. We stand firmly on God’s principles, recognizing that “to whom much is given much is required” (Luke 12:48) and that we are one in the spirit: for there is “ONE Lord, ONE faith, and ONE baptism” (Ephesians 4:4-5). Our faithful supporters believe and commit to God’s greatest commandment directing us to “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:37-40).

Schedule: Every 3rd Saturday of each month (10:30AM – 11:30 AM) and every 5th Sunday (3:00PM – 4:00PM). All are welcome to join us.

At Columbia Community Church, we believe that no life is beyond the reach of God’s power. It is our purpose to teach the life-changing hope of the gospel to women who are incarcerated and after they are released, through faithful, consistent, Christ-centered mentoring relationships. It is through sharing the love of Jesus Christ we want to encourage the women to become new creations in Christ and prepare them to become leaders of their families, communities, and churches once they are released.

Matthew 25:37-40

New International Version (NIV)

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"
