Outreach

Convalescent Homes- The church ministers to 5 convalescents homes each month. Most of the residents of the homes cannot get to church so we bring church the to them. The residents are old and young with various disabilities. We cannot forget the members of our church that can no longer care for themselves and need 24 hour care.

Homeless Ministry- Hundreds of individuals are ministered to each 3^rd Sunday with the word, clothing and food. The church alternates its location for the homeless in downtown Los Angeles (Skid Row) and on the church parking lot. People are hungry for the word as well physical food and at New Testament, they can receive both!

Angel Tree- The church participates in the Prison Fellowship Ministry and contributes towards providing Christmas gifts to the children of incarcerated men and women in Southern California. This is a nationwide ministry, which New Testament is proud to be a part of each year. More information on this ministry can be found at www.angeltree.org.

Transportation- Transportation to the church on Sundays and Wednesdays is provided free of charge. Contact the church at least one day in advance if you are in need of transportation to services.

Faith In Action- Leadership Class

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. The Faith In Action ministry at New Testament Church began in February 2002. The purpose of Faith In Action is to inspire and equip completely committed Christians who are completely committed to Godly action. The activities of Faith In Action include Sunday Bible study, community outreach, youth vs. adult sporting events, and phone ministries. We thank God for the committed men, youth, and elders who have participated in the various Faith In Action activities. Through prayer and faithful service, we are confident that God will continue to bless the Faith In Action men in our mission to follow Christ. For more information on Faith in Action, see Brothers Steven Neal or Derek Williams.
