INTRODUCTION


Good Samaritan Program

The Good Samaritan Ministry provides financial assistance to individuals in need.  To submit a request for assistance you can call the church and leave a message for the Good Samaritan committee or you can visit the agencies listed below and they can assist you with completing an application for the Good Samaritan program and fax it to our church.  These are a few of the agencies that partner with the Good Samaritan Ministry to help meet the financial needs of families.

  • Murray Family Resource and Youth Services Center

  • Little Laker Family Resource Center

  • Calloway Family Resource Center

  • Calloway Middle Youth Services Center

  • Calloway High School Youth Services Center

  • West Kentucky Allied Services

  • Murray Calloway County Hospital Home Health

  • DCBS Protection and Permanency

Although our goal is to share the love of Jesus with each person that requests assistance and to help them meet a physical need, we are not equipped to meet emergency requests.
