Love Columbia

LoveColablue

The Love Columbia Benevolence Ministry is fulfilling Riverside’s mission to be a downtown church making and molding followers of Jesus who love God, love each other, and especially love the city of Columbia. We desire to be a community who is generous with our resources and time as we serve those in poverty. We define poverty as broken relationships with God, self, others (individuals & societal systems) and creation. Therefore, we believe we all struggle with poverty and are in need of the saving work of Jesus Christ. Thankfully we have a loving Father who provides for our needs and meets us where we are. We look forward to what the Lord is going to do through the Love Columbia Benevolence Ministry in the years to come.

 

What can I do to help?

You may already be involved and you don't even know it! We often meet people in our lives every day and make decisions to help someone in need. If you meet someone in need, here’s what you should consider: If someone’s needs are small and/or a one time occurrence, and you feel like you and/or your small group can handle it, feel free to move ahead helping that person on your own. Even if you help someone on your own, know that we love hearing stories of how God is using His people to help those in need.

There are times that a need may feel too big for any one person or small group or the needs are ongoing; please follow the steps below and the Care Team will work with your small group:

  1. Fill out the Referral form below.
  2. Print off the community resource list and distribute, if appropriate.
  3. The LC Benevolence Care Team will partner with your small group to decide whether God is calling your small group to walk with the person requesting the assistance and whether the request meets the criteria for assistance according to the LC Benevolence Care Team Guidelines.
