The mission of Matthew 25 Ministry at Faith Lutheran Church is to feed
the hungry, help the homeless, and clothe the poor.
The ministry helps inform the congregation and others about the issues of
hunger and opportunities to feed and clothe those in need and encourages
individuals to volunteer in areas with the greatest need.
Their volunteer opportunities include: Bringing food for the DMARC Red
Barrel, donating clothes for needy children at Crestview Elementary
School in Clive, working in the Faith & Grace Garden, preparing and
serving meals at the Children and Family Urban Movement Supper Club,
making egg casseroles for Salvation Army, joining Faith Stitchers to make
hats, prayer shawls, and wash cloths.
Four times a year, Faith Lutheran Church hosts homeless families for a
week at the Gathering House as part of the community-wide Family
Promise program. Matthew 25 works with volunteers to prepare the
Gathering House for their guests, prepare meals, serve as overnight
caretakers and when the week is over prepare the Gathering House for its
other uses.
