The mission of the local Community Outreach Ministry is to engage our Door Creek Church community in relational service to improve the quality of life for all people in Dane County. Our focus is serving the most vulnerable children and families. Our dream is to see the entire Door Creek Church community serving together to empower and encourage people right here in our city. We’re doing that by inviting everyone to choose a Community Outreach initiative to get involved.
At Door Creek Church, our mission is joining God in changing people into devoted followers of Christ who change the world with His love. We have a long history of serving our community, and we believe that one of the ways we grow as disciples of Jesus Christ is to actively love God and love our neighbors.
There are many opportunities to live missionally right where you are, by engaging in acts of love and service toward your neighbors and those in need around you. We have directed some of our Community Outreach budget towards Door Creek on Mission Grants—funds (up to $200) available to help you, help others.
Maybe you have a neighbor who needs groceries or medicine that you can buy for them. Or you want to stock a bunch of backpacks with supplies and activities for kids experiencing homelessness. Or you want to pass out some great evangelistic material in your neighborhood.
Fill out an application and a member of the Missions Ministry Team will follow up with you. If approved, you will be able to submit your receipts for reimbursement of the funds spent. Go and be the hands and feet of Jesus!
Door Creek Church partners with these partner schools. Both staff and church attenders offer support to these schools as needs arise. We focus on making our Encouraging Educators matches at these schools, regularly tutor children, collect books for students and provide in other means as needed. There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the day and we’re constantly looking for more volunteers to help serve in the school and behind the scenes.
If you have school-aged children, we encourage you to serve in their schools!

Our Food Pantry Drive is an ongoing school ministry that restocks and equips food and clothing to school pantries so that students and families have extra resources. Help us fill the pantries with toiletries, paper products and personal hygiene items by dropping off donations at your campus on Sunday mornings.
Door Creek Church is the church home to a group of newly arrived refugee families. We are looking for families and individuals to join together to form circles of support and friendship around our brothers and sisters in Christ who are refugees. Ideas, training and support are provided to make this a valuable experience for all.
Volunteers help manage and harvest a garden at Door Creek Church, with the harvested food then being donated to local food pantries. This is a great chance to meet others at Door Creek Church and contribute delicious and healthy food to local food pantries for those in our community! This is a great family-friendly opportunity.
