Are you feeling led to make a lasting impact in the lives of men experiencing homelessness? Becoming a Partner Congregation is an opportunity for your church to engage in meaningful service, support vital resources, and be part of a community-driven mission of restoration and hope.
How to Become a Partner Congregation
Partnering with Firehouse Ministries is simple—and deeply rewarding. Your church can walk alongside us in four key ways:
1. Commit to Prayer
Prayer is the foundation of our mission. We ask congregations to lift up Firehouse Ministries, the men we serve, and our ongoing efforts to create pathways out of homelessness.
2. Send Volunteers
Hands-on service brings hope to those in need. Partner Congregations commit to sending volunteers regularly to support our programs and shelter operations.
- Most churches volunteer monthly, offering time and talent.
- Others serve quarterly, providing valuable assistance.
3. Appoint an Advisory Council Representative
Each church designates one representative to serve on Firehouse Ministries’ Advisory Council—ensuring your congregation’s voice and ideas help shape our outreach. Advisory Council meetings are held quarterly.
4. Provide Financial Support
Ongoing financial contributions sustain our ability to provide emergency shelter, housing solutions, and essential services. We ask Partner Congregations to allocate a regular mission budget line item for Firehouse Ministries to ensure consistent financial support to maximize our impact.
