Inner City Ministry
Inner City is an outreach of Cornerstone Christian Church. The volunteers who staff the varied programs provided represent a broad cross-section of the community. They come from a variety of denominational backgrounds. They are professionals and trades people, as well as many retired seniors. The group is diverse but committed to one thing… serving the Lord by loving and caring for those who are hurting.
What Do We Do?
Inner City Ministry reaches out to the poor and homeless in the Rogue Valley. Many of the people we serve have given up on life and have lost all hope. We try to encourage them by providing a hot meal, bags of groceries, nice clean clothing, haircuts, counseling and more.

We hope to add the following services in the future:
~Literacy classes
