“I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat… I was a stranger and you welcomed Me.”
(Matthew 25:35).

The 25:35 Crew exists to live out Christ’s compassion in real and practical ways. Each time we gather, we strengthen one another so we can better serve our community with love, dignity, and purpose.

Why We Gather

Encourage. Learn. Support.
Our gatherings give us space to share stories, celebrate wins, navigate challenges, and remind each other why this work matters.

Growing Through Best Practices

A few core principles guide us:

• Dignity first: We see each person as made in the image of God.
• Consistency matters: Showing up regularly builds trust.
• Small acts, big impact: A meal, a smile, a listening ear—these reflect Christ’s love.
• Share what works: Your insights strengthen the whole team.

Our Ongoing Call

As we carry the heart of Matthew 25:35 into our communities, let’s continue to encourage one another and learn together. When we serve others, we serve Him.  Gather dates are listed below. If you are unable to join your district's scheduled gathering, please attend another date.
