Service Opportunities

We invite our local community to celebrate holiday meals and worship with us!  Local churches, individuals or businesses often partner with us to provide and serve a delicious meal. 

The Glory House Bread of Life Center is a food pantry that strives to meet the needs of our community, serving 700-1.200 families a month. We are always in need of donations to fill our shelves with nonperishable food items and basic hygiene supplies. See our downloads section at the bottom of this page for a printable list.

We are always in need of volunteers to come assist with upkeep and renovations at The Glory House. From lawn care to electrical, we have projects for every skill set. We also have a new building coming our way soon that will need lots of love.

Each spring and summer, we host a Vacation Bible School and Masterpiece Art Camp for ages 5-14. This five-day event features Bible study, crafts, music and recreation along with breakfast and lunch. Teachers, team leaders, kitchen assistance, food and supply donations are just a few ways to help out.

Every July, we partner with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to host a five-day sports camp for ages 5-14. The camp features sessions on football, cheerleading, basketball, soccer, and more. FCA takes care of the sports, but we always need kitchen helpers and team leaders.

 Volunteers give out school supplies to area children and we have fun games to play. We would love for your church or business to host a school supply drive to assist with giving our area students a great start to a new school year.

For those who can't make it to the food pantry or to special meals, we try and deliver so they don't miss out. We need lots of help in this area to deliver. Come volunteer with our meal delivery and be a huge blessing to our neighbors. 

If your church or school group is learning about missions and service, the Glory House is a great place to provide children with service opportunities. Give us a call to schedule your group's service project. We have lots of ideas!

We have several opportunities for major construction and renovation projects within the Glory House neighborhood and ministry. Painting, electrical, plumbing and carpentry are just a few areas of needed assistance.

When the weather starts to cool, that means it's time for movie nights. The community is invited to bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy freshly popped popcorn and a family, friendly movie on the front yard of our home.

Our annual Christmas Store is an opportunity for families referred to us by local agencies to come shop for Christmas gifts for their children at no cost. We always need helpers to donate items, wrap presents and sort donations for this very  special store. 

Local business partnerships are hugely important to us. Donated supplies, services and funds help us meet so many needs. Canned food drives and Christmas toy drives are always welcomed to help give back to the community.

October is time for our annual Fall Festival. The event features carnival games, food, fellowship and we get to SHINE the LIGHT of JESUS at this community-wide event that is free to the public.

In partnership with Laurel First Methodist Church, the annual community-wide Easter Egg Hunt and picnic is a fun, family event in Gardiner Park. We get the opportunity to share the Easter story, make crafts, play games and build relationships with our neighbors.

Prior to every event, volunteers hit the streets to pass out flyers about upcoming events. We would love for you to join us as we spread the word about our events and spread the love of Jesus.

We love when high school and college students join our team as they complete service hours for scholarships, internships and clubs. If you need hours, give us a shout and we can find a place of service for you or a group of friends.

One of the most important things that you can do for our ministry is remember us in prayer. We appreciate your prayers and know the Lord will continue to bless this ministry.

Join us in taking Jesus to the streets  in neighborhoods around the county. Saturday mornings we gather in unreached areas and have a mini VBS with Bible lesson, songs, arts & crafts, games, prayer and a sack lunch. Bring your team or group and share in the joy of sharing His love!
