Our heart and goal here at Lake Deerwood Fellowship is to affect this area and the world for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything that Christ did was personal. The very act of God becoming a man was as personal as it gets. When reading scripture it is clear that not only was Christ personal- but intimate. He came in physical contact with those who had not have not been touched for a majority of their lives. He looked into the eyes of people and felt their pain, their sorrows, but pointed towards their hope- hope in Him. Christ was never just the head of the church- when He walked the Earth he was the church. He was the embodiment of all that the church was. HE brought the church with Him. Did he go to the temple? Yes. Scripture tells us time and time again he was teaching in the temples. As a child he was lost only to be found asking questions that astounded the holy men of the temple. But was the temple the center of His ministry? Most every miracle I have noticed happened not in the temple- but out among the people- out in the streets. The majority of His ministry was spent in the streets, in homes, in areas where the “church” would have never thought of conducting business. Scripture even stops to tell us that God no longer lives just in the temple- but that each of us are the temple for the living God. To that end, there are many outreach ministries that go beyond the four walls of the church to reach out to those who may not know Jesus Christ as Lord. Our outreach ministries include street evangelism, mission service projects, helps ministries and many other avenues to promote the gospel. Our community outreach is designed for participation by people of all ages to demonstrate the love of God by touching our communities in practical ways. We have a variety of ongoing and seasonal outreaches that are open for our congregation to take part in. We hope you will browse through the ministries described in this section and be encouraged that so many needs are being met.
