Local Outreach
The Local Outreach Ministry connects the Cornerstone body with needs, organizations, and opportunities in Simi Valley and Ventura County. We have strategic partnerships in various domains of our community, including schools, public health and safety, parks and recreation, the homeless and needy, youth and family, foster care, and more. We prayerfully network with these various domains of our city and seek to present opportunities for our church family and community groups for local ministry. Our hope is to build genuine friendships within our city and share the good news of Christ.
Below is a list of some of our partnerships.
Children’s Hunger Fund
Children’s Hunger Fund’s (CHF) mission is to deliver hope to suffering children by equipping local churches for gospel-centered mercy ministry. Throughout the year, Cornerstone partners with CHF in a variety of ways! One of the most impactful campaigns is "Project Food Pak." These are boxes lovingly filled with nourishing food that can feed a family of four for nearly a week.
Food Paks are distributed by trained church pastors and volunteers to families in need, right in their own communities. This home-delivery method opens the door for relationships to be established and grow as well as the Gospel to be shared. Find out more about this project and other ways CHF reaches communities locally and overseas at childrenshungerfund.org.
