The clinic provides a wonderful working environment with state-of-the-art equipment and procedures to help provide healthcare in the inner city.
Elder Care Visitations Last Saturday of the month, 9am, E105 (for orientation) Shine the love and light of Christ to residents and staff of nursing home facilities surrounding Scottsdale Bible. Help spread a little joy for the glory and honor of God.
Helping Hands Helping Hands volunteers reach out into our congregation and the community with their “do-it-yourself” skills, helping with those nagging little maintenance challenges that arise. They often provide help to widows and single mothers. If you need assistance, please contact care@scottsdalebible.com. If you are handy with a wrench or hammer, this is a great way to extend the love of Christ to those in need.
IMPACT THE WORLD Scottsdalebible.com/outreach Outreach@scottsdalebible.com

Our church has developed some key partnerships and relationships with ministries around the world. By partnering with these organizations and friends, we can be used by God to impact our world and transform lives—both theirs and our own.
