Mission groups include Brotherhood, Women On Mission, Local Missions, Mission Trips and Projects. Mercy Health Resource Center Our church supports this organization by providing meal to the volunteers who serve. Mercy is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian health center providing care for the uninsured in and around Athens, Georgia. First and foremost, Mercy Health Center is about ministry - carrying on Christ's healing ministry in our community and sharing His love with our neighbors. They do this through providing medical, pharmacy, and dental care. A.C.T.S. (Area Churches Together Serving) A Ministry to Aid People in need in Oconee County A.C.T.S. is a ministry of Oconee county churches, which, by working together, enables us to give a helping hand to individuals and families in need.

The distribution center is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am - 1 pm. It is located at 200 South Thompson Street in front of the Bogart Library next to the Bogart Baseball Complex. A referral is required for assistance and must come from A.C.T.S. churches or by Oconee County Social Service Agencies, such as DFACS and ACTION.Jail Ministry Every Saturday morning during the month of June our church visits the Oconee Jail to give a devotional to the inmates.
