The U.B.T. or Urban Benevolent Team is a ministry within LCC’s Care Ministry. It’s designed to aid in the facilitating of LCC Life Groups or other small congregational groups in benevolent acts of kindness and need. They accomplish this by partnering with local organizations serving the underprivileged and needy and by organizing individual teams to serve in our Des Moines area. Some of the organizations that we partner with are: Freedom For Youth, Bidwell Riverside Center, Ruth Harbor Home, Hope Family Center and Habitat For Humanity. If you would like to learn more about each organization, click on the name to visit their webpage. We also arrange various Random Acts of Kindness for residents in and around our neighborhoods. The ideology of the U.B.T. believes that our acts of benevolence should be done in accordance with Jesus’ mandate in Matthew 6:1-4, which directs us to be covert in our acts of righteousness as much as possible. We desire to glorify God by helping our church groups emulate our Lord Jesus Christ in acts of charity and righteousness towards others in our local community, who are suffering and enduring hardship in life. We understand that we are an extension of God’s grace and are acting as His agents, therefore what we do and say is not only a direct reflection on our church, but on the Lord Himself.Christmas Outreach Party Video |
