    There are literally hundreds of homeless men, women & children throughout Pensacola. We can't help them all, but we can play our part to reach as many as possible with the love and message of Jesus Christ. H.O.M.E. (Homeless  Outreach Ministry & Evangelism) seeks to to do just that. H.O.M.E. is a resource center that provides a hot lunch, a shower, haircut, a clothes closet & supplies, a vibrant worship and fellowship & prayer to the homeless and poor around us. We continue to rely on generous donations and the helping hands of countless numbers of loving, dedicated volunteers who on the 3rd Saturday of each month come together to minister to nearly 100 needy visitors in the community.
