Outreach, to us, is more than just a term—it's a guiding principle. It's about reaching out to people wherever they are, meeting them in their struggles and joys, and sharing the transformative message of Jesus Christ. It's about service, connection, and above all, love. Whether it's lending a helping hand to a neighbor in need or venturing beyond our borders to support communities abroad, outreach is the heartbeat of our ministry.

We understand that outreach takes many forms. That's why we're committed to engaging in various avenues of service, Locally, Nationally and Globally. From financial support to organized trips within the US and abroad, and serving opportunities right here in Southern California, we're dedicated to making a difference wherever there's a need.

The mission of Calvary Murrieta's Outreach Program is clear: to extend Christ's love and compassion to our community and beyond. We aim to empower individuals, families, and those in need to thrive physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our vision is equally ambitious—we seek to create a positive and lasting impact in our community by nurturing relationships, addressing needs, and fostering a sense of belonging and purpose.

To ensure that we're actively living out our mission, REACH will be planning monthly outreach events. These events will encompass a diverse range of activities, from local service projects to international outreach trips. Each month, we'll have sign-ups available, giving everyone in our community the chance to get involved and make a tangible impact.

Beginning November 17th!

This organization is phenomenal. They do some much for the youth in our community that I’m unable to even list all the resources that are available through them. There home base is in Hemet, but they have various centers in the valley. Their mission is to provide safety, comfort, and healing to children suffering abuse and abandonment; to teach love and trust, to instill self-esteem, values, and hope for the future, and in doing so, assist children trapped in hopelessness. Some of their services include foster care, kin care, youth homes, job training, and more. They LOVE volunteers!

Calvary is considered a “Strong-Family” Church in our valley. This is a faith-based movement motivated by compassion, generosity, and hospitality to keep children safe and families supported while facing a crisis. Basically, it’s a step before foster care.  Members of the church open their homes for a short time while the parents work through the challenges they are facing. It’s a voluntary program and an amazing way to help a whole family heal and stay together. To learn more about this great ministry, contact Paula Thompson.

Camp Alandale is a Christian camp for children in the Foster Care system. Our mission is to introduce abused children to the life changing and healing reality of Jesus Christ and equip them to lead meaningful and productive lives. We accomplish this by providing summer and winter camp programs for children ages 9-18. Every camp session is intentionally small so that each child receives the proper amount of supervision, love, and care needed to make them feel safe, valued, and protected. Our goal is to have a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the summer and a 1:1 camper-to-counselor ratio in the winter.

Camp Alandale is a Christian non-profit organization that serves abused and neglected children through a mountain camp program. We are not affiliated with any church or denomination. The ministry of Camp Alandale is fully supported by donations of time and finances from churches, companies, and individuals.

The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement working to bring help, hope and love to people in the conflict zones of Burma, Iraq, and Sudan. Working in conjunction with local ethnic pro-democracy groups, FBR trains, supplies, and later coordinates with what become highly mobile multipurpose relief teams. After training these teams provide critical emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing and human rights documentation in their home regions.

In addition to relief and reporting, other results of the teams’ actions are the development of leadership capacity, civil society and the strengthening of inter-ethnic unity. The teams are to avoid contact with the Burma Army or other attacking forces and operate under the protection of the ethnic resistance armies. However, they cannot run away if the people they are helping cannot escape the attacks. Men and women of many ethnic groups and religions are part of FBR.

Agape International Missions (AIM) is a Christ-led, non-denominational, not-for-profit organization that exists to glorify God through our dedicated efforts to love, protect, and care for survivors of trafficking as well as other vulnerable and exploited individuals.

Through a holistic approach of rescuing, restoring and reintegrating survivors of trafficking and preventing sexual slavery, AIM seeks to meet survivors’ spiritual, emotional, social, educational and physical needs. Our intention is that they may come to know their worth and value in Christ, develop a dependence on Him, and develop skills for a sustainable life.
