The Alms House began out of a need recognized by five local pastors.
As people came to their doors seeking assistance, they knew that if they united, much more could be done than as individuals.
Luke 6:38 (NIV)
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
