Outreach

Reaching people by making disciples of Jesus.

Here at Columbia Heights our mission is to reach people by making disciples of Jesus. We believe that community involvement changes lives. This is a part of the culture of who we are–we are passionate to reach the lost. Because of this, we have created opportunities for our church to become people who live out the Gospel, and tell the Gospel to our neighbors.  

Upcoming Outreach 

The city of Longview has a 19.1% poverty rate. This is 11.2% higher than the state average. For our city, this means over 7200 residents are affected by poverty. We long to introduce Jesus to these neighborhoods, and we need your help! 

This month we are doing another Food Drive. Our hope with collecting food is to create a food pantry outreach for these low-income families in our community. Starting in August we will be going to a couple intentional areas in Longview to pass out food and tell families about Jesus. This food pantry will be our first door to witnessing in low-income areas. If you desire to serve in this outreach, there are multiple ways to help.   

1st is to bring food. We do ask that you stick to the items on the list. You can drop off food items at the Front Office, Mon-Thurs from noon to 4, or bring them to the next steps table. 

2nd is by joining our outreach team. You can join online, through the app, or at the Next Steps table. This month our outreach team will canvass low income areas in hopes of locating where to have our first food pantry outreach. 

3rd is to join us in prayer as we continue our outreach efforts in our community.

On Going Outreaches

Join our Outreach Team  

We are a group who prioritize the great commission and keep outreach, prayer, and discussing the word of God our priority. We meet in person every other week and will serve in an outreach at least once a month.

Dinner Outreach  

There are multiple organizations in Longview and Kelso that advocate for children and families who need a safe place to recover from domestic violence, disasters, and emergencies. The amazing thing about this event is that it gives us a chance to personally build a bridge for others to encounter the love of Jesus through serving dinner to these organizations!

Foster Care Bags  

This is an Urgent + Ongoing Need in Foster Care. Children are removed from their families every day because of abuse or neglect. Our goal is to provide bags for these children that are equipped with basic materials. These bags are filled with comfort and personal care items for youth and children entering the foster care system.

Food Drive  

Help us meet practical food needs in people's time of need. If you would like to donate food, you can drop off your donations to the Front Office, Monday through Thursday from Noon to 4 PM or in the lobby at our Next Steps Table. See the information above.

Pastor Executive Support

This team consists of a variety of times and duties surrounding the office of our Senior Pastor. Organizing, setting up, tearing down, and shopping are just a few of the areas for this vital area of service may entail.
