EASTHAVEN “SOS” MINISTRY

SOS stands for Servants on Standby. When practical needs occur within our body or within the neighboring community, those who have joined the SOS Team are alerted so that we can meet those needs as the hands and feet of Christ. The goal of the SOS Ministry is to pair those in need of non-cash goods or services with someone who can provide help, or organize others to fulfill a need. As a member of the SOS Team, you will be notified of requests via the SOS email alerts list.
