Intersect
We are sometimes asked about opportunities to serve outside the church. For example, we might hear, "How is Redstone involved in caring for its community?"
This is a good question.
Early on, we made a decision not to replicate ministries that are already doing an excellent job meeting specific needs in our community. Instead, we have chosen to funnel human resources into a handful of organizations that are doing a far better job within their spheres of influence than we could ever do.
Below, you will find a current list of local organizations to which we have aligned. These organizations are serving the needs of our community and we support their work.
If you find an organization that is addressing a need that captures your heart, please contact it directly to find out about the opportunities for personal ministry. And don't forget to consider how your entire community group can get involved.
