We glorify God by making disciples and multiplying churches in Greater Washington, D.C. Much of our disciple-making in the D.C. area occurs through our members’ personal witness in their offices, schools, and neighborhoods, but we also unite in structured outreach.
God has equipped each believer with talents and abilities to be His witness in the world. From sorting baby items for vulnerable moms and children, to teaching English classes, Local Outreach provides many opportunities to put those gifts to use. We encourage you to join one of our internal ministry teams (see below) or contact a partnering organization to get started.
To connect to Local Outreach and find out about the different needs and ways to serve, please sign up for our main newsletter. We are so glad you are here!
Check out our list of partnering organizations. These groups are all MBC “partners” doing great work all around our city in various ways such as food pantries, pregnancy care centers, homeless ministries, and more. There are also a couple of national/international organizations. Give them a call to see what kind of options they have for volunteers and get serving!
Join us as we serve vulnerable populations throughout the area, both through our external partners, as well as through our internal ministries. See below for all our ministries.
We will have numerous volunteer opportunities coming within the next few weeks, including serving in our Baby Boutique, apartment set-up days, and working on events, so sign up for the newsletter to be notified about all opportunities! There will be something for everyone.

Speakers include Chris Seaton, Executive Director, Project Belong, and Margaret Hoffer, Director of Don’t Go Alone, Project Belong, and some MBC foster families.

Our mission is to provide computers to individuals, families, ministry and missionary partners unable to afford computers. This equipment helps to provide people access to needed information, show God’s love and spread the gospel. Lazarus Computer Ministry is in need of computer donations, in particular working laptops and desktop computers that are less than 8 years old. All donated computers are erased as part of the refurbishment process.
