OUR NETWORK PARTNERS

The Center Church has strategically partnered alongside organizations and ministries that specifically target both tangible and spiritual needs of people outside our church. We are able to financially support these organizations through our Community Outreach fund specifically set aside for missional opportunities.

HAND2HAND MINISTRIES | Oriole Park

There are many children right in our own backyard who do not get adequate nutrition, especially on the weekends when they are out of school. Through our partnership with Hand2Hand Ministries,  we are able to provide backpacks with weekend meals, as well as focused prayer, to children at Oriole Park Elementary School. We, along with 5 other partner churches, hold a once a month packing night where pack meals and pray for our school.

EBENEZER DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING CENTER | HAITI

In the city of Petit Goave, Haiti, Ebenezer Discipleship Training Center exists to raise up and equip indigenous disciples of Jesus Christ, while also helping to transform the community and surrounding communities in which it operates. By serving through the local churches, EDTC is striving to simply to join in what Christ has already started in the communities.

The heart of Ebenezer is discipleship, both for indigenous people and foreign visitors. But instead of foreigners doing the discipling, the discipleship school uses Haitians to teach, lead, and evangelize. This makes the process culturally relevant while also avoiding dependency on from the outside.

Along with their focus on local discipleship, the training center also helps develop spiritual growth and discipleship in foreign short term teams by helping them understand that they are missionaries to the very places God has already sent them.
