Ministries of the Compassion Corner:
One-on-One Discipleship
Various leaders take one homeless person at a time and work with them on a personal basis to assist with housing, job training, spiritual growth, etc.
The Good News Breakfast
The Good News Breakfast is held every Sunday morning at 6am in Lee Fellowship Hall, where an average of 250 homeless are fed. The men of the Central Care Mission, many of whom are just off the streets, serve the breakfast following a time of worship and a sermon. All are welcome to come eat as well as come serve.
Homeless Columbarium
A place of rest is offered free of charge to the homeless following their death and cremation. The Columbarium is located at the corner of Edington Way and Jackson Street attached to the Clayton Life Center. The church provides pastoral care, the sacraments, and funeral service free of charge to friends of the Corner who have passed from this age to the next.
