Rainbow Pres donates a large part of our Missions budget to local benevolence ministries. In this way, the needs of the community can be met in the most efficient way. We also have many members who are passionate about serving regularly in these ministries.  As a result, people at Rainbow feed the hungry, help those in crisis pregnancy, conduct Bible clubs, take meals to the sick or home bound and reach out to children at risk. The ministries we support are listed below with links to their websites. 

We invite you to join us in serving Etowah County! Call the church office for more info (256-442-3440) or click on the links to visit these websites.
