Sharing the Good News—Here and Everywhere

At Christ Fellowship Northwest, we believe the gospel is for all people—our neighbors, our nation, and the nations. We partner with local ministries in the Upstate, support church planters across North America, and send missionaries around the world. Whether across the street or across the globe, our mission is the same: to embody Christ’s love and multiply disciples wherever God sends us.

  • Fostering the Family

    Fostering the Family seeks to care for foster children and families by surrounding them with care communities. They seek to see these care communities formed by bringing awareness within the local church to the issues within the foster care system. Throughout this process they equip and support the care communities that form within local churches. Their ultimate goal is to make a lasting impact in vulnerable children’s lives. 

    ​

    How You Can Get Involved:

    One way you can get involved is by joining their Meet the Need Technology Portal. This will connect you to specific foster care related needs within your own community and enable you to become a catalyst for care within the church. To get involved as a volunteer in their system, visit: https://fosteringthefamily.org/get-involved

    Fostering the family is asking for individuals to begin to make prayer for the vulnerable a weekly prayer habit with this seven-day prayer guide.

  • GirlUp GVL

    GirlUp GVL seeks to empower young women with positive formative experiences to help them overcome obstacles and instead find great opportunities. We believe that the best way we can help these young women thrive is by introducing them to the gospel of Jesus, which is what all of our volunteers who work with GirlUp seek to do. 

    How you can get involved:

    Apply to be a volunteer tutor or mentor. Girl up needs older women to come and spend time with the girls in their program on a weekly basis. 

    Volunteer to bring the girls a meal. We have several MCs that provide a meal for the Girlup team and students several times a year. Encourage your MC to do this as well!
