The Latin root of the word “ministry” means to “serve (like an attendant or a waiter).” Hospitalitas means “friendliness to guests.”

Jesus washing his disciples’ feet is an example of God offering hospitality - and carrying out his ministry - in a tangible, physical way.  Our church building is the central location where we carry out our ministry of sharing God’s grace. Part of that ministry is “showing hospitality” (Rom. 12:13) to all as we proclaim Jesus’ Gospel.

Hospitality is more than a smile and a handshake.

Putting a person at ease also requires tangible, physical things. Our current facility in Dix Hills, NY needs improvements to better carry out our ministry to serve guests, friends, and family. 

We are refreshing our facility with thoughtful use of God’s blessings of our own time and talents. Our treasury needs a little help, though. Can you help us by donating towards these improvements?
