Street outreach is one of the hallmarks of the Outdoor Church’s ministry. Several times throughout the week our ministry team walks the streets of Cambridge to meet with the unhoused, homeless, and street-involved people to offer them spiritual and material support.
On Saturdays and Sundays, we hand out various combinations of sandwiches, juice boxes, snacks, socks, and toiletry kits to the community from carts pulled by our ministers, interns, and volunteers. On other days, we offer conversation and a pastoral presence. Communion and prayer are always available to those who request it. Because our walking routes are the same each week, our ministers and parishioners know when and where to find each other.
Our street outreach program has a simple agenda: We want to meet homeless men and women where they are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and offer them whatever support we can.
We always look for individuals and groups to assist with our street outreach ministry. If you want to learn more or schedule a date to join our team, please fill out the interest form below.
