Deacons Benevolence Fund
Since the earliest days of Christianity, churches have been committed to helping those in need. Whether it was through a soup kitchen (Acts 6:1-7), financial aid to widows (1 Timothy 5:1-16), or caring for orphans (James 1:27), Christians have always prioritized generosity and mercy.
At JPC, the deacons are our volunteer leaders charged with leading our ministry of mercy. Through the congregation's generosity, the deacons oversee the Deacons Benevolence Fund, which provides limited funds for people going through a particular time of need.
Priority will be given to those who are members of or are connected to JPC. To support those in the wider community, the deacons partner with and financially support a number of other organizations and therefore will make referrals first and then consider supporting directly.
If you or a loved one are going through such a time of need, the deacons may be able to help. To find out, click the link below:
“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

Beside the Deacons Benevolence Fund, can we help you in any other way?
