Yesterday the folks of Mars Hill Church were feeding and sheltering the mostly single moms and kids displaced by a police standoff behind their Bellevue campus. They were trying to get a block of motel rooms to put the families up for the night (I was following on FaceBook), when the whole thing ended peacefully and the families could return home. Oh, those hateful antichoice Christians and their indifference to women and to born children!
They sponsor Redemption Groups that minister to people dealing with addiction, sexual abuse, rape, abortion, etc.
The church sets aside money for their Community Groups to do local outreach -- helping families and communities. It's called Micro Missions.
The focus is on finding hurting people, and then loving them.
