About Us
Our Pillars
Linking The Clearinghouse serves as a hub of information and referral services. We respond to immediate and short-term needs by linking individuals to area churches and agencies that can help. Equipping Churches are developing ministries and performing more and more outreach into their communities; therefore, Good Samaritan Ministries is partnering with and equipping churches by offering them ministry opportunities, training, and congregational coaching. We also continue to pursue grants that increase church capacity and programming Building Beyond the Walls brings churches together for mutual support and coordinated planning of community ministry. With support from Good Samaritan Ministries and other community leaders and organizations, Beyond the Walls churches engage their congregations in addressing critical community needs. Impacting Good Samaritan's Affiliated Programs work with local churches, government agencies and service organizations to address targeted needs in the community.
