Why Social Services at Church?
It is natural for us to think that with all the money spent on public welfare that poverty should not exist; however, as we know, this is not the case. Though the function of public welfare is feeding people and caring for their basic needs, the purpose of biblical Christian welfare is drawing people to God by the physical expression of Christian love. Achieving this goal is a function of the body of Christ. Woodmont is called to play a role in this quest - one person at a time. It calls for a commitment on the part of the individual family and our church family but it can be done!
The Social Services Ministry not only helps meet the physical needs of those seeking assistance, but also seeks to provide spiritual guidance as well.
“Let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
James 2:15-16.
“If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger, or a sojourner, that he may live with you.” Leviticus 25:35
WBC FOOD PANTRY
Woodmont Baptist Church operates a food pantry in partnership with the Northwest AL Food Bank.
Food is distributed each week to families in need. Approved families may receive food every three months.
The Food Pantry serves an average of three families each week.
We show love to those in need because God,
through Jesus Christ, loves them.
Our prayer is that each person will respond
in faith to the redeeming love of God.
“Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one
of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
Matthew 25:40
