About the Group
The purpose of Second Mile Ministries is to serve and glorify God by encouraging people to a relationship with Jesus Christ (1) Through love and concern, (2) Through the presentation of the gospel, and (3) through practical assistance in living. This assistance will primarily include food, clothing, and monetary aid for shelter and utilities. We also purpose to give practical, emotional, and spiritual support to the elderly, handicapped, and homebound.

The workers at Second Mile will endeavor in every way possible to encourage spiritual growth, emotional maturity, and financial responsibleness. We desire to communicate to the needy that they are of great value in God's eyes and to treat them with compassion and dignity.

We believe that a right relationship with Christ is the way to victorious living and to eternal life. We believe that spiritual growth will come through consistent prayer, study of the Bible, and worship/fellowship in an organized body of Christian believers.
