About
At Messenger of Peace, we believe in the power of showing up with food in one hand and the Word of God in the other.
Our mission is clear:
To meet people where they are. To reach one. To teach one. And to become a unity of one in Jesus Christ’s mighty name.
We are a Christ-centered outreach ministry, passionate about ministering in many streams to the hurting, the hungry and the overlooked. We serve both natural food for the body and spiritual food for the soul.
Our Vision: Growth from the Inside Out
We envision a world where no one goes unseen.
Where someone struggling with physical hunger receives not just a hot meal, but also a word of hope.
We want to see people grow emotionally, spiritually, physically from the inside out.
Where the church extends beyond four walls and meets people in parks, shelters, sidewalks and silence.
What Does “Ministering in Many Streams” Mean?
"Many streams" means our ministry flows into multiple areas of life and culture. Our calling isn’t confined to one place or type of people.
It stretches to:
-
Urban streets and underserved neighborhoods
-
Shelters and transitional housing centers
-
Community kitchens and food pantries
-
Prisons, hospitals and schools
-
Online Bible studies and prayer groups
-
Individual homes and hearts
Wherever there’s a need, we bring the stream of Christ’s peace.
We are called to unity, not uniformity within the body of Christ.
These guiding truths fuel every meal, every conversation, every prayer:
-
Jesus Christ is the true Messenger of Peace.
-
The Word of God transforms lives from the inside out.
-
Every person deserves to be seen, fed and valued.
-
Ministry should be relational, responsive and real.
Our Core Beliefs
What We Stand On
Presence Before Preaching
We show up first with love, with listening, with lunch.
Discipleship After Deliverance
We don’t just feed people and disappear. We walk with them long after the need is met.
Unity Over
Division
We partner with other churches and ministries. Kingdom work doesn’t compete, it collaborates.
Grace Over
Judgment
People don’t need a sermon, they need to be seen. We lead with compassion.
