SERVE
IN THE COMMUNITY
Two Ways to Get Involved!
All of our partner ministries serve the local community in valuable, tangible ways. By volunteering with any of these organizations, you can meet these specific needs while furthering our mission at Gospel Community Church to make disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ!
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get plugged in as a volunteer. There are two ways to get involved! Contact Peter Vukovich for general information, or if you already know which ministry you’d like to volunteer with, scroll down to find the appropriate contact information to start today.
Get started the easy way...
If you’re not sure where to start, contact Peter at (574)-312-1611. He can provide general information about all of our local partnerships and help you decide which one is right for you.
Downtown Ministries serves the city of Goshen and Elkhart County by providing programs to meet the needs of struggling individuals and families. They teach people how to get a job (and keep it), provide mentoring relationships, offer transitional housing for women and children, and help individuals find resources for mental health and addition struggles. The Downtown Ministries team does all of this while supporting, encouraging, and praying for the people they serve! There are opportunities to serve at Downtown Ministries as a volunteer ranging from mentorship to maintenance and auto repair. Contact Matt Vukovich (matt@mattbuysindianahouses.com) to learn how you can serve!
The Brookside Food Drive is held the third Thursday of every month from 4-6PM at Brookside Manor (across the street from the church).

Volunteers can help shoppers make selections, load food into their carts, and talk with them! Text Peter Vukovich (574-312-1611) to sign up!
