Family Promise is a nationally known non-profit organization that supports homeless families. Creekside church partners with Family Promise in Forsyth county providing homeless families a safe place to stay for a week several times a year. While on our campus we provide a place for them to sleep, have meals, fellowship and allow families to have private time together. There are many opportunities to serve during our next host weeks.

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" ~ Matthew 25:37-40
