Mission and Outreach
Outreach and mission ministries are a critical part of our Christian life together. Serving the needs in the Louisville community and beyond is the best way to fulfill Christ's Great Commission.

Give Hope to Haitians
Despite all the foreign aid and media attention given to Haiti following the earthquake, the country is still in great need. Millions of Haitians lack access to safe drinking water, housing and medical care. Here is your opportunity to make a profound difference in the lives of the Haitian people. The team is limited to 12 adults. The cost is approximately $1700-$2000 depending on airfare and fundraising. Team members are required to attend a 2-day training at EDGE OUTREACH, during which they will learn how to purify water, conduct vision clinics and teach health and hygiene lessons.
