Food Pantry and Clothes Closet

This is a spotlight article. Every now and then we will take a look at a ministry within New Heights Church. Our food pantry and clothes closet ministries are both being run by David Wells. This ministry has already demonstrated a big impact on the local community.

David and his family have been taking in donations of non-perishable food items and clean, new and gently used clothing. The pantry and clothes closet are currently open every other Friday. These ministries present the opportunity to bring lost people into the church (a scary place for some) and meet their needs. David and our pastor, Cody, share the Gospel with these people, most of whom are in need both physically and spiritually.

This is a great opportunity for our church members and believers from other local congregations to join in and serve South Louisville. It is essential that these people understand why we are feeding and clothing them. It is not because we are merely nice, not just because they are in need, and not because they deserve it. We do this because we believe Scripture, both Old and New Testaments command it. We give food and clothing to those who need it because Jesus has shown us grace. We, in turn, show grace to humanity in the name of Jesus. Thus his Gospel is the reason for all of our ministries.

We invite other Baptist believers to become involved in this significant ministry. We also invite those in need, here in South Louisville, to come to New Heights Baptist Church and be fed in the name of Jesus.
