The Gospel is the saving work of God in Christ for the world, and it is our call and privilege to join in the work of God's kingdom in word and deed.
Outreach is crucial to who (and whose) we are. It's goes beyond evangelism (not short of it), and includes benevolence and support of many other good works. We seek to be ambassadors of God's love and his will at home, domestically, and abroad.

COMMUNITY EVENTS AND EFFORTS
Our members, ministers, and facility are constantly devoted to serving and reaching out to our community. Our annual VBS, Trunk and Treat, and Breakfast with Santa events serve the children of our area. The ladies in our "Heirloom Stitchers" group have knitted hundreds of blankets and caps for babies in the Neonatal Unit at Germantown Methodist Hospital. Every Thursday morning a Toastmasters Club meets in our building. Every month the Nashoba HAM Radio Club meets in our fellowship hall on the second Monday night. On the second and fourth Monday nights of every month a Career Transition Group meets in our building. At least twice each year, we host a two-day Driver Safety Training Class for senior adults. For ten years, Germantown Safety City, a week long Safety Camp for young children, was help on our campus. Click this link for more information about our Preschool. In August of each year, we host the annual dinner meeting of the Oakleigh Neighborhood Association. We have hosted dinners honoring veterans and fist responders. In July of 2017, we hosted a children's workshop for the Germantown Community Theater. On September 9-10, 2017 we will provide a shuttle stop on our parking lot during the Germantown Festival.
One of the most fruitful ministries we have is our Giving Garden. Members have devoted themselves to growing these plants and God has provided the increase. This produce is given to those in need and to local pantries. The flowers are taken to those who are ill in local hospitals or at home.
Jesus said "Love God and love people" (Matthew 22:37-39). That's what we are trying to do at the Germantown church of Christ.
