Ways to Serve:
Preparing and serving food
Distributing toiletries and clothing
Organizing street and shelter activities throughout the year

JAIL
ALCF’s Jail, Juvenile Hall and Prison Ministry is a valuable asset to the local community. By encouraging inmates in local correctional facilities through the Word, worship and prayer, our ministry teams have seen the lives of men, women and youth fully surrendered to our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Ways to Serve:
Leading monthly services and Bible studies
Building relationships through prayer and fellowship
Exhorting, equipping and providing assistance to inmates

Over 60% of nursing home residents do not receive regular visits from family and friends. Through ALCF’s ElderCare ministry, we have an opportunity to pray and fellowship with seniors at nursing care facilities who may feel forgotten or are unable to attend a regular church service.
We currently have openings to serve at Los Altos Sub-Acute & Rehabilitation Center on Wednesdays for Bible Study and first Sundays for worship.
