Where in the World is Wieuca

Home > Serve > Where in the World is Wieuca

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which to look out
Christ's compassion to the world
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about
doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.”

-St. Teresa of Avilla

Community Ministries

IMPACT Teams

IMPACT Teams are a way for Wieuca to reach out into the community with a focus on 5 areas: Generational Poverty; Seniors; Refugees; Public Servants; and Human Trafficking. For more info, click here

Buckhead Christian Ministry

Wieuca is one of the founding churches of this vital ministry that assists people who are homeless or working poor in our city. You can help BCM by volunteering or by making donations of money, clothing, or food donations. Twice a year, Wieuca is responsible for filling the pantry at BCM. Many of our members also serve BCM regularly by working in the food pantry or thrift store (Buckhead THRIFTique), as an intake volunteer, or special events volunteer. If you are interested in learning how to get involved with BCM, contact Buckhead THRIFTique volunteer Helen McLeskey or BCM board representative Melba Hill.

Wieuca Day School Reading Program

We have a vibrant Day School which serves many families. The Day School is always looking for volunteers to read to these precious children. If you are interested in becoming a reader please contact Darth Whitis.

Friendship Home

The Claire Gibbs Friendship Home provides a short-term occupancy Christian home for family members of persons experiencing an extended hospital stay at one of several nearby hospitals. Wieuca's Missions Committee coordinates this ministry. The Friendship Home includes two separate family apartments in addition to separate living quarters for our house manager.

Youth Basketball Program

Every winter Wieuca has hundreds of aspiring young basketball players participate in Wieuca Hoops. We need coaches.

Tutoring

During the school year Wieuca provides a great after school program for over one hundred students from three local elementary schools. Did a teacher, tutor or mentor impact you in your life?

We move in and out of seasons in our lives and sometimes those season make it hard for us to be directly involved in all the ministries that touch our heart. If that is the case for you, financial contributions are a valuable way to support community organizations and our church. Another valuable way you can make an impact is to pray for the work that our church, covenant groups and individuals are doing. You could start by praying the poem above.
