Who We Are
Love in Action is a mission of Southmont Baptist Church whose twofold goal is to provide ministry and outreach for primarily homebound senior adults an also prepare and deliver food packages to support our local schools and food banks.
“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.”
