Bethel Church in Clinton, N.C., launched a wide-reaching Community Giveaway this past April, as part of its efforts to connect with residents and prepare for its upcoming Pentecost 2025 Evangelistic Series.
Themed “The Community Knot — Tied Together for a Common Mission of Service,” the event aimed to strengthen ties between the church and the broader community, establishing Bethel as a reliable and compassionate resource in the area.
In partnership with Judy Toney of Combined Unified Services, church members distributed food, clothing, furniture, and hot meals to attendees. Each participant also received a gift pack containing a bookmark, a “message in a bottle” with a Bible verse, and an invitation to the church’s upcoming evangelistic series.
As part of the outreach, recipients completed information cards, allowing Lovel Spence, pastor and the church’s Bible worker, to follow up and build meaningful relationships before the series officially began.
“Bethel is a small church, but by working together, we were able to make a huge impact,” said a church member. “This event wasn’t just about giving away goods — it was about building lasting connections grounded in faith and service.”
The Community Giveaway marked a significant step in the church’s mission to serve and uplift the Clinton community through both action and the message of the Gospel.
