Outreach

Our picnic day always starts with worship on the parking lot before we dive into a potluck meal and games around Pentecost.

Samuel sponsors a boy scout troop who rakes our leaves each fall and Eagle Scout Candidates often create things for the church and preschool.

Our vibrant and active children and youth ministry often reach out to the wider community through fellowship events, service projects, and mission trips.

In conjunction with Kern Meat Co, this fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity takes place in March. Since 2020, we have moved from serving a meal to having an online auction – with items generously donated by members and friends of the congregation.

Various 12 step groups meet at Samuel throughout the week.  These are Alcoholics Anonymous, Codependents Anon (CODA), Debtors Anon (DA), Overeaters Anon (OA), and Survivors of Incest (SIA). These groups are not affiliated with Samuel but use our building. Brain Buddies – a support group for folks who have suffered from brain injury and their families also meets here.
