Serve the City

Serve YOUR city!

At The Chapel, we offer two different types of serve outreaches: staff-led and member-led. Staff-led outreaches are facilitated by The Chapel and are consistent from year to year. Member-led outreaches are created and led by YOU - the church! The staff will walk beside you and support you as your idea becomes a reality, but ultimately this a chance for you to see a need and fill a need in our city.

Staff-Led Outreaches

    We know not everyone can become a foster family, but we believe everyone can support the foster care system.

  • We assist inmate leaders & inmate pastors in facilitating small group discussions with other participants, usually 7-10 men, we call a Family. Participants have a desire to become better men of God, husbands and fathers, even though they are incarcerated and are away from their families. Our primary curriculum called Malachi Dads is a 3 book series: Heart of a Man Part 1&2 and Heart of a Father. These focus on what it means to be a Godly man and father. It usually takes 8-10 weeks to complete one book and requires at least a 5 -10 hour commitment per month in 3 month segments.

  • At EEF, we firmly believe every child has the right to quality education. This belief propels our commitment to be a bridge to help children enjoy their right to quality education by providing a well-rounded, supportive, safe, and engaging learning environment for children across the globe.

    Our current outreach services include alleviating poverty's impact by providing scholarships for indigent children to go to school. We have sixty-two (62) Nigerian children on scholarships for the 2023/2024 academic year. Our support extends to schools, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary resources, infrastructure, and professional development to provide the best learning experience for their students. We participated in the East Baton Rouge back-to-school bash to distribute supplies. For the second year, we have provided school supplies to the students at LaSalle Elementary School at the start of the school year. We have expanded the learning opportunities at this school to include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and mathematics) outreach events. The students interact with scientists, engage in experiential learning, and develop interest in STEM fields of their choice.
