Benevolence is to assist regular attenders/members and others in the community when possible, during times of emergency or financial crisis. Situations of need can — and often do — arise unexpectedly.

Application Process:  
We encourage those who are not a part of the Mims family to contact Community Assistance Center through their website or to call them at 936-539-9211.
Our church has dedicated a portion of our Benevolence funds to our regular attenders/members who have demonstrated to be committed to Mims as their home church. The remaining portion of our funds are shared in partnership with Montgomery County’s Community Assistance Center. To begin, just complete our Application Form.
