Need Help? We’re Here for You

 Life can bring unexpected challenges, and we want you to know—you’re not alone.

City Light Church is committed to caring for individuals and families in our church and community who are experiencing hardship.

Our Benevolence Team is here to pray with you, support you, and help guide you toward stability.

How We Can Help

Our benevolence ministry provides short-term, emergency assistance for unexpected financial needs, such as:

• Groceries or gas

• Utilities (electric, water, gas)

• Partial rent assistance

• Other urgent needs reviewed on a case-by-case basis

We do not provide long-term financial support, pay off debt, or offer cash gifts. Assistance is based on need, available resources, and active involvement at City Light. City Light pays the vendor directly (landlord, Utility company etc.

Who We Help

 Because stewardship and relationship matter, our priority is to assist:

• Individuals or families who actively attend City Light (Consistent attendance for 3 months)

• Serve Team members

• People connected to our church community

• Those walking through legitimate, urgent crisis situations

If you are not connected to City Light, we may still be able to pray with you and connect you with trusted community resources.

We want to walk with you—not just through the immediate need, but also toward long-term hope and stability.

Our team would love to:

• Pray with you

• Hear your story
