Erie Gap Team
The Erie Gap Team is a group of people who have a heart to serve the community of Erie and are willing to stand in the gap whenever a need presents itself. The team is notified by email or phone of needs as they come up. Those that are able will then “stand in the gap” to help meet the need of the community. For more info contact Jennifer Jones.

Senior Snow Removal
Each winter season, volunteers and families are paired with a senior living in Erie who needs help with snow removal on their sidewalk and driveway. Volunteers commit to shoveling for the senior within 24 hours of every snowstorm with the goal of caring for and getting to know our neighbors.

The scriptures command us to welcome and care for the sojourner. Join us as we seek to find ways to know, welcome, and care for the immigrant and refugee families living in our local communities. Opportunities may include helping someone learn English, find a job, move into a new apartment, or journey through the process of citizenship.
