The benevolence ministry simply seeks to show Christ through providing assistance to those in need. These needs vary from a young family getting started, a stranger about to lose utilities, those affected globally by disaster or famine, to helping with food while someone grieves the loss of a loved one.

We receive frequent requests, both from those that are a part of our church family and from people in our community. While we cannot help with every situation, we pledge to use our best judgment in providing help.

We are involved with several benevolent programs with most overseen by individual members or some of our Bible classes. Every member of our church family has the opportunity and is encouraged to look outwards with a benevolent spirit and help others. Listed below are several ministries in which the Valley View Church of Christ is engaged:

■Church family requests
■Community member requests
