outreach

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me... You will be my witnesses...'

Matthew 25:40, Acts 1:8

LOCAL OUTREACH

Jesus’ love in action

Food Pantry

Sharing food, igniting hope

The ZCC Food Pantry gathers and distributes food to needy families, helping them create margins for survival.  We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus right here and now.

Clothing Boutique

Clothing families, sharing faith

The ZCC Clothing Boutique gathers and distributes quality and affordable clothing to needy families in our area, helping them redirect savings to other vital needs.  We seek to bring them hope and help in Jesus’ Name.

Navigators

Connecting needs with resources

There’s a lot of needs out there, and lots of help available, but understanding the need and knowing which resource applies takes a special kind of person!  If you are good at listening, and are a natural networker, we need you!

Driver Team

Bridging the gap from A to B

Food/clothing donations are out there… but they have to get from a warehouse to the people who need help!  Each week, our driver team is moving food and supplies to sustain the work of our food pantry and clothing boutique.

Unload Team

Getting food over the finish line

If you can lift a 30-50lb box and have an hour available, this is a great team for you!  Trucks arrive at all different times, and we REALLY need help to unload!!  Help get > 50 tons of food a year over the finish line from truck to pantry!

Women’s Prison

When we hit bottom, we start looking up.  Join our team of ladies who are going weekly to minister to incarcerated women in our area to bring the light and hope of Jesus to people who need Him.  

Evangelism training

Share faith naturally

“I froze”.  How many of us have seen the door open to share our faith with a friend or relative and decided not to share because we didn’t feel prepared?  Let’s change that.  Get equipped to share your faith with anyone anytime in a natural, clear way so they can choose Jesus.

Handyman

We can do it & they need help

Do you have a strong opinion about DeWalt vs Milwaukee, and know how to get a wedding ring out of a sink trap… this is your outreach team!   Help people around us with simple fixes that change their lives!

Culinary Arts

Our Culinary Arts affinity team is a group of people who love Jesus, love people and love cooking!  We prepare food for needy families in our community monthly, repackage donated food and sometimes cook for ZCC events.

Event Team

ZCC does some great events where people invite friends, and setting all that up (and taking it down again) requires a team.  If you would like to join us in making an event happen (admin, moving tables, making phone calls, hauling hay, setting up lights…) we’d love to have you!

Performing Arts

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

The Performing Arts team is a group of artists who use their God-given talents to glorify God. We take our art expressions of praise to the streets through songs, music, dance, poetry, theater and art.

Engage: Local Mission

We are surrounded by people from Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist nations where many have no understanding of Jesus at all… and now they live just down the road!  Join us as we learn about and engage their culture and communities, bringing the fragrance of Christ along with us!

Immigrant Connect

Friend to the Foreigner

We are blessed to live in a highly diverse area of the nation with new immigrants from all over the world coming to immigration centers daily.  If you would like to befriend a family recently arrived, we would love to connect you, so reach out to get started.

GLOBAL OUTREACH

Steve & Jen Butwill

Steve, Jen & Maylynn Butwill served in Liberia (11 years) and are now re-engaging in medical service in French-speaking Guinea at the Sacre Coeur Pediatric Center!  Steve will serve with the administrative team and Jen will use her nursing training to develop the quality of pediatric care at the center.

Engage: International Trips

God is at work around the world, and ZCC engages where we can help get the Gospel where it’s not, changing the probability that someone will hear the Gospel in their lifetime.  We work with trusted local partners in SE Asia and Oceania creating overseas trips that engage our people among those least reached.

International service

Has God touched your heart with a call to overseas missionary service, bringing the good news about Jesus into communities and families that have not yet heard?  IF so, we would love to talk with you, pray with you, and connect you with some next steps you can take to explore long-term overseas service.
