Full Circle
Full Circle Family Outreach is a seasonal homeless outreach ministry that provides emergency shelter to the Mountain Area. Several local churches, including Sierra Vista, participate in sheltering the homeless in their church buildings on rotating nights of the week from December through March.
This ministry was born in the year of 2011 when the community lost a homeless person on the streets who froze to death one winter night. People gathered to discuss what we might be able to keep this from happening again. The church community responded to the need by creating this “nomadic shelter” that operates during the harshest months of the year- December through March.
Our desire is to meet the needs of those who need help. We offer food, clothing and shelter on Saturday and Sunday nights during these months. This gives us a tangible way to show the Love of God to our guests and has opened up the doors on many occasions to point our guests to the Truth of who Jesus Christ is and what He means to us. As one of our guests once said, “I don’t need a hand out as much as I desire a hand up”.
We have many wonderful volunteers who range from overnight hosts to screeners to those who help out with food. We also have individuals who help with the laundry each week so our guests will have fresh and clean blankets and pillow cases. If you are interested in getting involved in this ministry please contact the church office for more information: info@sierravistachurch.org
