Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

CROP Walk
The CROP WALK is an annual spring event in Durham sponsored by Church World Service with strong participation from Durham congregations. The Durham CROP WALK is the third largest of several hundred walks that occur each year in the United States. The proceeds of this 10-kilometer walk are used to support local and international nonprofit agencies.
Habitat for Humanity
Over 25 years ago, WSBC saw the need for decent, affordable housing and helped kick-start Habitat for Humanity of Durham. We continue to support this work financially, by participating in local home construction, and by traveling with work groups.
Interfaith Hospitality Network
WSBC participates in a coalition of Durham churches that provides emergency overnight shelter and food to homeless families. We are paired with Duke Memorial United Methodist Church, which houses families for a week once every 10 weeks. We participate by preparing nightly meals and providing hosts to stay with guests in the evening.
Monthly Meal at Urban Ministries
Urban Ministries of Durham welcomes more than 6,000 people each year who come seeking food, shelter, clothing, and supportive services. We support this vital work through our missions budget, and on the third Thursday of every month, the Sojourners Sunday school class prepares and serves dinner for approximately 220 people at the shelter.
