Ocoee Outreach is under the umbrella of the CrossNet Baptist Network and affirms the Doctrinal Statements written in the Baptist Faith & Message of the SBC.Branden D. In response to God’s unwavering love, mercy and grace towards us, we are compelled to serve and to share His love and message with others. Our Belief: We belief that God’s plan for us that is revealed in the Bible is that all who trust in Jesus Christ, the Son of God as their Lord and Savior will one day spend eternity with Him in Heaven. At the same time we are committed to not doing for others what they have the capacity to do for themselves.

We guard the public trust and reputation of Ocoee Outreach at all times. We manage funds carefully, treat people fairly, and use materials and equipment resourcefully. We make each neighborhood a better and more attractive place to live and work by caring for the needs of people living in substandard and unhealthy houses. We create space to laugh and have fun together. We encourage, care for, and learn from each other as we work together. We find joy in serving others with our God-given gifts and talents. We believe that every person regardless of race, culture, economic status or situation is a child of God, matters to Him and should be treated with dignity and worth. It is our desire to resource the local church to reach out to and build relationships with the community – to equip & mobilize the local church in evangelism and ministry projects that lead them in investing in the community around them. We exist to serve as a conduit to connect the church and the community together. Through the CrossNet Baptist Network we are very connected to the local church. Ocoee Outreach is not an island of itself. We Believe in Connecting Church & Community. We are intentional about telling others about Jesus, leading them to respond in faith in Christ and getting them connected to a New Testament fellowship of believers where they can be discipled. The Gospel of Jesus Christ – the reality that Jesus came to reconcile all things to himself – is the end goal and motivation in all we do. Our desire is that everyone experience the hope, joy and life found in Jesus Christ.

Ocoee Outreach help others in humility and without expectation so that our service reflects the love and compassion of Christ Jesus. He helped a thief who was dying on a *cross” and He told us the story of the Good Samaritan, to challenge us to help our neighbor in need. There are numerous stories where Jesus helped all kinds of people. Our Values: We are compelled by the love of Christ. Our Vision: We envision utilizing the tools of home repair and outreach initiatives to transform homes into safer living environments and to transform lives for eternity so that every person we encounter will be given the opportunity to say “yes” to Jesus. Our Mission: Restore Homes, Renew Hope for those living in need & to Reach Hearts with the Gospel.
