A Helping Hand
In the Old and New Testament, we are taught to care for the least of the community: the widow, the orphan, the poor, the sick. We have a handful of ways and partners out in the community where hands and hearts are needed to help provide for those that need it most.
NEW PATH
New Path’s mission is to connect neighbors in Miami County to basic needs and offer programing to inspire them on their journey. Helpful hands are always needed to stock, share, store and fix at the food pantries, thrift stores, auto garage and medical ministry. Email newpath@ginghamsburg.org with your interest to serve.
CLUBHOUSE
Clubhouse, now an official ministry of New Path Outreach, equips Christian teens to design and implement free afterschool faith-based programs for elementary children with limited opportunities. Adults are there to provide support and mentor teens as they build leadership skills while working with kids in underserved communities. Visit their website to learn more about volunteer opportunities.
UPWARD SPORTS
Upward uses the power of sports to share the gospel and promote the discovery of Jesus in every community. At Ginghamsburg, we view sport through the lens of a greater purpose – which means the impact can extend far beyond the game. The Tipp City Campus Avenue hosts Upward Basketball and Cheer every Winter/Spring. Opportunities to serve include coaching, scheduling, providing snacks, emceeing and leading halftime Bible lessons. If you would like to be involved, email upward@ginghamsburg.org.

ISAIAH 117 HOUSE
Isaiah 117 House provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster care placement. Our 2023 and 2024 Christmas Miracle Offering is helping Isaiah 117 build the first Isaiah 117 House in Ohio. Soon to break ground in Dayton, the need for volunteers is great!
Lemonade Stand Weekend

We’re continuing to raise funds for Isaiah 117, a non-profit dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming place for foster kids to stay while they await placement.

DECLARE DAYTON
Declare Dayton works to connect and support local churches, nonprofits and community leaders to share God’s love in tangible ways to bless lives and communities. They do this by serving Dayton and the Miami Valley through prayer, Church rallies, partnering people, equipping leaders and serving the community. The Ginghamsburg Worship team regularly participates in Declare Dayton’s regional worship gatherings.
HOMEFULL
Headquartered in Dayton, Homefull takes a comprehensive approach to addressing poverty. Homefull aims to end homelessness by providing housing, services, advocacy, and education. Our 2019 Christmas Miracle Offering funded the construction of a Homefull mobile grocery store to improve food security in Montgomery County.
SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), is an organization born from the simple belief that every child deserves the comfort and security of a warm bed. What started as a local mission to help neighbors became an international movement. Today, SHP has grown to 350 chapters, with thousands of dedicated volunteers who have built and delivered more than 250,000 beds to children in need. Ginghamsburg Students are familiar volunteers with the Montgomery County chapter.
