Apex Kansas City
High school students will work with children and serve the community around Bridge of Hope Community Church in Kansas City.
Dates and Registration
God has given pastor Luther Eatman and the Bridge of Hope Community Church a love, vision and burden for their community in the northeast side of Kansas City, Kansas. They seek out the marginalized in the community to express God’s love through tangible acts to the homeless, poor, addicts, widows and orphans.
