FIA at a Glance

Faith is Action is a group of volunteers from Our Savior Lutheran Church who get together to serve the Summit-Waller area. Volunteers typically meet quarterly, on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 8:30am to 11:30am. 

The Faith in Action team includes:

• Community Action Teams
• OSLC Car Shop
• Backpacks 4 Kids packing Breakfast Bags
• Meals Ministry

Here’s the schedule: 

• 8:30am Meet at OSLC in the Worship Center where we review the projects for the day and form work crews, share a snack and pray, and then get to work!

How to Use Faith In Action:

• Get to know your neighbors wherever you live, work and play.
• Learn their stories, discover their needs, and offer to help.
• Recommend your project online. It is the best way to recommend a project because it captures important information.
• Plan ahead. It takes time to find a project leader and secure materials for the job.

Community Action Teams

Our Community Action Teams can tackle almost any job for those who lack the means or the know how. Friends and neighbors recommend projects and our teams get it done. We have provided safe handrails, heavy lifting for single moms, yard work for seniors, painting, plumbing, and more.

OSLC Car Shop

Transportation is an essential part of economic stability. The OSLC Car Shop seeks to provide dependable transportation to those who can least afford it. Our certified mechanics take on minor repairs while volunteers help with oil changes. Help is always needed in the Car Shop. No skills necessary. Our certified mechanics can show you what to do.
