The Outreach Ministry of Allisonville Christian Church is dedicated to fulfilling the call in Matthew 25:34-40: “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me…Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant it seemed, you did for me.’”

Our programs include, but are not limited to:

​

Blood Drive – four times annually.
