Summer at Front Porch Housing

For the past three months, summer camp has been held onsite at Front Porch Housing for resident children. Camp began as a way to meet a tangible need for parents by creating an accessible, safe environment for their children during the summer so that they can continue to go to work. Through camp, not only have we been able to create safe spaces for our children, but we have also had the opportunity to share the gospel with them.

Staff member Jessica Poore shared this with us:

When I think about this summer, I think of the goodness of God. I've learned that his goodness is on display each and every day—I just have to open myself to seeing it. It is shown in simple ways and big ways, and I can see him at work in the lives of our camp staff, our kids, and their parents.

Many of our members from Grace Church volunteered consistently to help run summer camp, and we are thankful to be part of what God is doing through Front Porch Housing. During the school year, there is always a need for volunteers to help with Front Porch’s after school program. If you are interested in learning more, click below to visit their website.
