Outreach Ministry

The mission statement of Christ Fellowship is "We are called to impact our world with the love and message of Jesus Christ. Everyone Everyday Everywhere" Christ Fellowship has several outreach ministries in the South Florida Area. Out of Pastor Tom and Donna's heart for the fatherless, they worked with community partners to launch Place of Hope, Inc. (www.placeofhope.com), which operates as an independent non-profit organization serving children in the child welfare system. As Place of Hope grew, they expanded their reach to assist with 18- to 25-year-old former foster and otherwise homeless youth through Villages of Hope, Inc. (www.villagesofhope.com). The Christ Fellowship Church also has outreach initiatives such as Places of Hope International, working with orphaned children in many countries around the world. The Student Ministries of Christ Fellowship in recent years have carried out annual missions trips to Belle Glade. Christ Fellowship has launched a new expansion which includes spreading its mission impact region to Haiti, and Belle Glade by opening new mission centers.

Christ Fellowship also operates the Kaleo School of Biblical Leadership.
