MISSIONS
Why Serve Others?
At Henning Memorial, we believe serving others is at the heart of following Christ. Missions are not just something we support—they are who we are. Every act of service is an opportunity to share God’s love, build meaningful connections, and grow as disciples.
Rooted in our mission to create empowered disciples of Christ, our outreach efforts focus on three guiding principles:
Building Relationships
We seek to connect with all of God’s children—locally and beyond—through genuine relationships. Whether it’s partnering with community organizations, supporting global missions, or simply showing up for our neighbors, we believe ministry begins with connection.
Nurturing Our Community
We are committed to serving others with compassion and purpose. Through hands-on projects, outreach events, and ongoing support initiatives, we work together to meet needs, uplift lives, and strengthen the community around us.
Reflecting God’s Love
Everything we do is an expression of God’s love in action. From small acts of kindness to larger mission efforts, we strive to be a visible reminder of Christ’s grace, hope, and presence in the world. No matter your age or stage of life, there is a place for you in mission work at Henning Memorial. Together, we are building a church that serves, loves, and transforms lives—one relationship at a time.
Take the next step and check out the service opportunities below—we’d love for you to be part of what God is doing through our church.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (Bed Build)
We are excited to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, helping bring beds, bedding, and hope to children who need them most.
There are many ways to join us in this partnership:
- Volunteer at a bed build.
- Donate materials, bedding, or supplies.
- Pray for the children and families served through this ministry.
- Invite others to serve alongside you.
Friendship Meals
A simple, home-cooked meal can bring immense comfort. Each month, our Friendship Meals ministry prepares and delivers fresh, loving meals to members who are homebound, recovering from surgery, or undergoing medical treatments.
Mustard Seed
Inspired by small beginnings that grow into something beautiful, the Mustard Seed House is a dedicated space for hands-on creativity and fellowship. Whether you are passionate about quilting, sewing, or pottery—or want to learn a new craft—come share space, stories, and skills with us.
Crutches for Christ
Medical equipment can be a heavy unexpected expense during a difficult season. Crutches for Christ lends out gently used medical and mobility equipment—like crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs—completely free of charge to anyone recovering from surgery or undergoing rehabilitation.
Blue Bag Ministry
Small acts of generosity create a massive impact. Through our Blue Bag Ministry, we distribute empty blue bags for members to fill with non-perishable food items. The first Sunday of every month, we collect and deliver these supplies to local non-profits and food pantries to help fight hunger right here in our community.
Scouting
We are honored to host local Scouting programs on our campus, providing a safe, active, and supportive environment for young people in our community. We open our doors to these troops
so that youth have a dedicated space to build character, develop lifelong leadership skills, and serve others, helping them grow into the resilient, community-minded leaders of tomorrow.
Lovejoy Family Therapy Center
The Family Therapy Center proves a convenient and welcoming space within our local faith community. The Center accepts most private insurance plans, EAP's, and offers self-pay options.
