Our Ministries
Our ministries were started in order for us to become Christ's presence in the community.
Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”Matthew 25: 37-40 says, Then the righteous will answer him, “
Hunger Ministry
Every second and fourth Saturday of the month, National Baptist Memorial Church opens its doors at 9:00 am. to a steady flow of people coming to receive food from our food pantry.
The names of these ministries, "The Well Food Pantry" and "The Well Clothing Closet", are derived from John 4 in which Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at a well. During this encounter, Jesus accepts the woman just as she is; social barriers and taboos were broken; and, the Samaritan women received the revelation of knowledge that Jesus is the Messiah. National strives to create such an encounter with each recipient, and their family, each time they enter our space.
The Well Food Pantry opened its doors on August 23, 2008. During our first year, we were able to provide food for about 2,000 people.
