Today is World Mental Health Day, and one thing we care deeply about at Connecting Point is creating a place where people feel safe, known, and listened to 🤍

Sometimes that looks like sitting down and really hearing someone. Sometimes it looks like praying for our neighborhood. Sometimes it looks like inviting someone to help and reminding them they have something to offer too.

That’s part of this week’s Director’s Challenge: spend some time praying over our neighborhood and invite a neighbor to help with a small task.

Mental health matters, and so does belonging.

Recently, as a couple of our team members sat down for breakfast, a neighbor walked right up and asked, “Hey, will you g...

Recently, as a couple of our team members sat down for breakfast, a neighbor walked right up and asked, “Hey, will you guys pray for me?” After they prayed together, he shared that he asks someone to pray for him every time he comes to Connecting Point because it helps him get through his week.

What a beautiful reminder that these simple moments of prayer matter - our neighbors are coming to know
Connecting Point as a place where they can be known, encouraged, and consistently pointed toward the Lord. 🤍

Support Connecting Point and enjoy a night at the ballpark!

We’re partnering with the Lynchburg Howlers for a special fundraiser to help support Connecting Point’s community breakfasts and food pantry. When you purchase tickets through our fundraiser link, $3 from every ticket sold comes directly back to Connecting Point.

Those dollars help us provide meals, stock our pantry, and provide practical support for neighbors in our community throughout the week.

Grab your tickets, invite some friends or family, and enjoy a Howlers game while helping us continue this work right here in Lynchburg.

Purchase your tickets through the link in our bio so your ticket counts toward the Connecting Point fundraiser.

We were grateful to have members of our church staff from GOSPEL COMMUNITY CHURCH serving in the kitchen with us today 🙌

Connecting Point depends on people who are willing to show up, work alongside our neighbors, and help create a welcoming place where practical needs are met with dignity and care.

Small groups, businesses, churches, and community organizations can all play a part. You can serve a meal, volunteer as a team, provide needed supplies, sponsor a program, or help support the work financially.

Interested in serving or partnering with Connecting Point? Send us a message. We would love to find a way for your group to get involved.

Some of our team got to tour this past week! We’re grateful for the chance to visit and learn more about the work they’re doing to create a safe, dignified, and supportive space for our unsheltered neighbors.

We left encouraged by the heart behind this work and reminded how much our community needs people and organizations willing to show up with compassion, dignity, and hope. 🙌

So thankful for the .family who spent their May 18th serving day with us at Connecting Point. 🤍

This team came in ready to work and helped deep clean the spaces we use each week for community breakfasts, showers, laundry, and welcoming our neighbors.

We are incredibly grateful for people who are willing to show up and love our community in practical ways. Thank you, Five18 Team!

Huge thanks to our friends at for coming alongside one of our neighbors as she stepped into her new home.

She’s been part of our community for a long time, and getting to celebrate this moment feels really special. We’re so excited for her in this new season 🤍

Wednesdays at The Connecting Point 🤍

Every week we open our doors for a hot breakfast, warm showers, and access to laundry…meeting practical needs in a simple, tangible way. We also help connect our neighbors to resources that can support them beyond the day.

But more than anything, it’s a space to slow down, build relationships, and be known.

If you’ve been looking for a way to serve or get involved, we’d love to have you. And if you’re an organization with resources that could support our neighbors, we’d love to connect!

Getting ready for food pantry today 🤍
There’s a lot that happens before the doors open…sorting, prepping, praying, and making space for our neighbors. We’re so grateful for this team and the way they show up 👏
