Community Impact is the social action ministry of Ramsbottom Pentecostal Church. We believe in showing love for our community in deeds as well as words.
Our aim is to serve our community through supporting existing organisations, who directly serve the needs of both our community and also other communities. We have a number of people in our church who are part of a number of different organisations which reach out in diffeerent ways.
Bethany Project:
One of the main organisations we support is the Bethany Project. Bethany work along side homeless people in the Bury area and help them to find housing, jobs etc. Joan Crampton, who is a member of our church, works within this organisation in Bury.
Street Pastors:
Street Pastors aim is to connect with a local community through being a part of that area. Teams work in different areas getting to know the people and also helping serve the needs of the community. We support this organisation through Steve Nicholson, who is a member of our church.
