Faith in Action

Virginia Boys Home

The Boys' Home of Virginia is a ministry partner of St. Michael’s, dedicated to helping boys become men who are productive members of society by developing their potential—spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially. As part of our commitment, we sponsor a cottage, make quilts for the boys, and organize an annual summer mission trip to serve their community. 

 

As James 2:17 reminds us, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." Through this partnership, we live out our vision of creating disciples by actively showing Christ’s love.

At St. Michael’s, we believe faith is more than words—it's about action. We live out our beliefs by serving others and making a positive impact in our community, just as Jesus did. Here are a few ways we're putting our faith into action.

Christmas Angel Tree

We partner with the Rotary Club of Forest Acres to bring joy and hope to children through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. With the generosity of our members and community, we help ensure that children not only receive gifts but also experience the deeper joy of Christ’s love at Christmas.

 

As a congregation, we adopt families and provide new clothing and toys, sharing the love of Jesus by fulfilling their gift requests.

Angel Food Bank

The Angel Food Bank is an initiative that provides EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE to the immediate St. Michael’s community. Early Learning Center families, staff, and church members experiencing food insecurity are given provisions in a controlled, discreet, and dignified manner.

We are excited for the opportunity to continue sharing the love of Christ through a sustainable program that offers pantry staples, nutritious meal preparation ingredients, and personal hygiene products for those facing challenges and instabilities. We previously received and dispersed goods through our holiday food drive and wish to maintain the program throughout the year to better serve those in need. In doing so, we are putting faith into action and growing our school and church community with compassion and grace.

St. Michael's Works

St. Michael Works is an outreach program where people from our community come together to help with practical tasks at people’s homes. Whether it’s yard work, repairs, or other household needs, we welcome any skill set to assist with the projects. It's a great way to make a real difference in the lives of others while building connections and sharing Christ’s love through service.
