UNITING GOD'S PEOPLE...TRANSFORMING OUR CITY 〰️
The invitation to Come Closer has resulted in the formation of a growing partnership network for strategic, local ministry.
We shine a light on the deep needs that exist.
We shine a light on effective on-ramps to local ministry.
We connect the people of God with people in need so that God things happen.
We aim to move the needle on community issues Christians are called to address.
Our Come Closer staff are incredibly passionate, Kingdom-minded leaders, led by our Executive Director, who has carried the vision from the beginning.
