ENGAGE

Building Funding

​School Partnerships:
We believe that a healthy pursuit of our vision involves community partnerships. One way of better connecting with our communities is through school partnerships. If you are interested in being a part of this connection, you may contact Lynn Phillips at lphillips@emeraldcoastfellowship.com .

People Groups:
We believe that a healthy pursuit of our vision involves connecting with people groups. To increase sensitivity in connecting and identifying with local people groups as well as to deepen our passion for being the hands and feet of Jesus to others, we have voted to adopt the "M" People Group of Brazil.   Contact Troy Varnum at troy@nwcbap.org for more information.
 
If you are interested in helping to connect with our Hispanic population,  contact Troy Varnum @ troy@nwcbap.org. ​

Seafarers:
Ken Kraich, Director of the Fishers Of Men Seaport Ministry will serve as Director of the local Seaport Ministry.   Ken serves at the port in Alabama,  Since the two ports serve the same ships, Ken knows about our port, the ships coming, and knows how to minister to the crew working on each ship.
 
​The goal of this  ministry is to continue to operate at local ports,  and engage international crews while their freight ships are in the Panama City area. For more information, contact Ken Kraich at 251-233-6221.

Resort/Community Ministries:
We have  resources available  to help you find your place of engagement with our community. For more information contact Phyllis Poland at phyllisp@nwcbap.org .
