SERVE

Looking for ways to serve? Mission opportunities are available through the Church at Cahaba Bend both locally and globally. 

Community Outreach

The Community Outreach Group (COG) works with neighbors in and around Helena in need of home repairs, needed projects and maintenance. It is amazing how lives can be changed with a hammer, a wrench and some sweat equity for The Kingdom. Our group members range from highly skilled to the willing and able and has become a great fellowship across all ages. We aspire to be the hands and feet of the Savior, giving those in need not just help, but the love and compassion of the entire congregation of CCB. Come join us on an upcoming project, you will be “Sweating for a Blessing”, but the blessing is guaranteed. The COG tries to schedule serving opportunities on the 2nd Saturday of each month. For more info, contact James and Ali White. Overalls not required.

Red Basket Offering

The Church at Cahaba Bend regularly receives inquiries from individuals in need of assistance, and we help as we can with things ranging from paying utility bills to providing food resources to assisting people out of unsafe domestic situations. The resources for this work come from the Pastor’s Benevolence Fund (PBF). For those who would like to contribute to this fund, each time we have communion at Cahaba Bend, there will be a red basket present. All monies placed in this basket will go to the PBF to assist those in need.

Oak Mountain Missions

Over the past few years, the Church at Cahaba Bend has been involved in a mission effort with Oak Mountain Missions Ministries in Pelham as they serve people in Shelby and Jefferson Counties and the Black Belt region. Oak Mountain is in need of monetary gifts, non-perishable food items, furniture, working appliances, household items, linens, and clothing. A detailed list is available on the front table in the lobby at CCB. A box labeled Oak Mountain will be available at CCB for food items. Larger items such as clothing, appliances, etc., can be scheduled for pickup. Checks can be placed in the offering basket with “Oak Mountain Missions” written in the memo line. Additionally, Oak Mountain needs individuals to help with such things as stocking shelves and serving at their facility.
