From building relationships with refugee families and volunteers to supporting programs, events, and community connections, Tricia brings care, energy, and commitment to everything she does. We’re so grateful for all that she gives to WARM and to the people we serve. 💚

What We Know To Be True: The church is one body, united across cultures and nations. ❤️

“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language...”
Revelation 7:9
At WARM, we believe the church is strengthened when people from different cultures and nations come together in Christ. This verse reminds us that belonging does not depend on having the same background or speaking the same language. We hope to reflect that kind of unity by creating a community where people are welcomed, known, and valued.

It’s Highlight Thursday!! 🎉
Today we’re highlighting two wonderful members of WARM’s Board of Directors, Ryan Eckerson and Paul Bothwell!

Ryan has served on WARM’s Board for the past three years and recently completed his term as Board President, handing the baton to Andrea Santiago. We’re so grateful for the leadership, commitment, and care he has brought to WARM throughout his time in this role.

Paul has been serving on the Board for the past year and has recently stepped into the role of Secretary. His willingness to serve and support WARM’s mission means so much to our community.

We’re so grateful for the leadership, time, and care Ryan and Paul bring to WARM and to the work happening across our community. (and of course, they had to show off their WARM mugs too! ☕💚)

Thank you, Ryan and Paul, for all that you do for WARM!

Homework Help kicked off its 2026–2027 school year last week! 📚✏️
Each week, WARM volunteers come alongside junior and senior high students to offer tutoring, encouragement, and a little extra support as they work through their schoolwork. We’re so grateful for the volunteers who give their time to help students learn and feel supported throughout the school year.
Here’s to another great year of learning together!💚

At WARM, we believe that caring for others is an important part of living out our faith. This verse reminds us that when we show up for people with compassion, dignity, and love, we are also serving Christ.

If this message resonates with you, we’d love for you to join us in prayer. We gather over Zoom every other Monday to seek Jesus together. Our next prayer gathering is Monday, October 5th.
