Our Story

Sound of Salvation Ministries began as a calling to ​serve those who faced food insecurities. The very first ​food box was left anonymously on a doorstep one ​Christmas Eve. That first food box became an annual ​tradition. That tradition became a greater calling to ​serve more of those who faced food insecurities.

Mission Plan

Phase Two

Part one is to form partnerships ​with other local non-profits and ​agencies. Part two will consist of ​four quarterly community ​projects. Part three includes the ​acquisition of a cargo trailer to ​help grow our outreach ​resources. Part four is to file for ​local and national grants to ​support the ministry. Each of ​these parts can be done ​independently of the others. We ​will continue to form new ​partnerships throughout the life ​of the ministry.

(ongoing)

Phase Three

will consist of the acquisition of ​a larger vehicle in which we can ​bring the ministry directly to rural ​communities. The onsite ​programs will include a mobile ​pantry, a mobile office for ​ministry/ coaching outreach*, ​and a mobile disaster services ​resource unit. These will be ​combined into a multifunctional ​unit that can function as all three ​based on circumstances. Phase ​Three will convert the cargo ​trailer into a deployable unit for a ​modified Community Emergency ​Response Team (CERT).

Phase Four

will add resources for ministerial / lay ​training for those who seek deeper ​understanding and relationship Christ. ​We will partner with local churches ​and ministries to help them serve their ​members and communities. 

*The ministry/ coaching outreach will be basic services with referrals to other agencies or appropriate services (health, mental, and social programs) Referrals will also ​include local churches that fit their individual/ family needs.
