In December 2016, the founder of God Feet, David Gillette, decided he wanted to walk in the footsteps of the homeless. He said to himself, “What better way than to panhandle on the side of the freeway.” David spent a couple hours panhandling in Gilbert raising $200. With the money, he bought a bunch of pizzas, drove to downtown Phoenix and fed men, women, and children who were living on the streets. This experience was both priceless and eye opening. Through that experience, the idea of Purpose Project was born.
Since that first night, hundreds of people have joined the Panhandle Project movement in an effort to positively impact our community living without a home. “God is moving powerfully through the Purpose Project. We’re so excited to see others get involved and thank God for the opportunity to serve alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m so thankful for our church, Rock Point, as they continue to encourage us to Know, Grow & Go.”
LOCAL OUTREACHRock Point Church believes that our primary outreach should be to our local community. God chose to locate Rock Point here, in this specific area, and there are multitudes of hurting people right in our own backyard who desperately need to know their Savior.
GLOBAL OUTREACHAs well as having multiple local outreach partners Rock Point is also deeply committed to build purposeful relationships with leaders in the global communities where God has specifically called us to serve! These relationships are designed to first address the spiritual needs, and then the physical needs, of those individuals who are eager to share Christ within their communities.
ANNUAL EVENTSThroughout the year, Rock Point Outreach offers many opportunities to serve our community through food and backpack drives, free medical and car care clinics, packing food for children in need, and more.
