It is our desire to be a church that reaches out to our local community with our hands wide open, not to receive but to give. Our plan is to meet these needs through the existing non-profit organizations that you find listed in the prayer guide below. Jesus, through His words and actions, has taught us that we are to be salt and light in this community. While we gather together to shine as lights like a city set on a hill, we scatter into the community to be the salt that brings healing, preservation and thirst for the things of God.

Our hope for CIC each year is that every member of Decatur Baptist Church will connect with a local non-profit to volunteer time and resources over the coming year, serving our community and building relationships with its people. As we serve and meet needs, we will also build relationships. It is our belief that those relationships will, over time, open new doors for us to share the hope that is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ with our new friends.
