Everyone who is saved has been rescued as part of the greatest rescue mission in all of history. God took pity on our falleness and sent His perfect Son, Jesus Christ, into the world on a rescue mission to seek and save the lost. Therefore, we who believe have experienced the mercy of God. We are the beneficiaries of God’s compassion. Well, those who have experienced Christ’s compassion desire to imitate His compassion. Humankind’s greatest need is the relief of eternal suffering, thus our primary mission is gospel proclamation and disciple-making.  Yet, love dictates that we do not act with indifference toward temporal suffering. Therefore, Sovereign Way has an active and robust mercy ministry that seeks to alleviate temporal suffering of those in our community. We offer food and clothing to those who are impoverished. Additionally, we partner with local organizations dedicated to helping the poor. We also partner with local pregnancy centers and rescue missions. If you want to know more, come check us out.
