Who We Are:
Ladle Fellowship is a ministry of First Presbyterian Church, San Diego to the homeless and poor in the downtown area.
What we do:
- We serve a Sunday afternoon hot meal, attended mostly by homeless people.
- We distribute food bags once a month to low-income seniors.
- We offer a generous selection of food to needy military families once a month.
- We assist needy individuals in their job searches, and help them reunite with family.
- We gather weekly for a discipleship class that aims at helping the homeless and others to become committed lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.
- We educate our church and the larger body of Christ about homelessness/poverty and how we can live out the biblical mandate to care for the poor and seek social righteousness.
Why we do it:
Relationship based evangelism and discipleship are at the heart of all we do. We aim to proclaim the good news of salvation through Christ; to help homeless believers and others in seeking a biblically ordered life, and to become more deeply committed disciples ourselves. We desire to bring God glory as we work to build and expand Christ’s kingdom.
