Mentoring

Meet regularly with a mentor

A mentor is someone with a little more experience who will listen, encourage, pray with and for you, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s journey. Mentors are experienced followers of Christ and are carefully paired with mentees.

VALLEY DISASTER RELIEF

Ongoing

We provide assistance for families who cannot afford tree services, whether it is a result of a natural disaster or simply an economic condition. Any of our work is not intended to compete with a commercial tree services but to bridge the gap for those who cannot afford tree services. We are always looking for volunteers to help us serve Central Iowa. We’ll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We would be excited to have you join the team!
