Just as Christ gave Himself for us, so we should give ourselves up for the sake of others. Below is a list of ways to get involved in local mercy within our community.
RIVERTREE ACADEMY
Rivertree Academy is a Christian independent school located in the Lake Como Community of Fort Worth, Texas. Rivertree Academy exists to serve Christ by educating his children. We believe that children of Rivertree will go on to be agents for change in their communities, and the best way to achieve that goal is to teach them to Learn, Love, Work, and Lead Well. Our students attend on scholarships, because of our many generous partners and donors who make this education possible!

THE NET FW
The Net addresses sex trafficking and exploitation and supports survivors because everyone is worthy of the chance to rebuild their lives. We serve survivors of trafficking in North Texas through empowering programming fueled by virtuous relationships. Rather than only providing material relief or hand-outs, we restore dignity through community and relationships while providing the support necessary for individuals to become independent and valued members of society.

DASH NETWORK
In response to the compassionate and welcoming love of Jesus, DASH Network exists to love people who are seeking asylum by serving their physical and relational needs.
Relationships are at the heart of everything DASH does. DASH desires for every seeker to form meaningful relationships and find community while in their program. Additionally, DASH provides asylum seekers with homes in downtown Fort Worth, which provide them with access to the bus route, hospital district, and great public schools. Food is provided from local food banks weekly and supplemented by grocery volunteers. Additionally, DASH offers ESL classes, Job Corp training, and life skills classes.

PREGNANCY LIFELINE
50 years ago, two Fort Worth women opened up their hearts, lives, pocketbooks and homes to meet the needs of a handful of women facing unplanned pregnancies and all the medical, financial, and emotional needs that went with those pressure-filled situations. Today, Pregnancy Lifeline continues to come alongside women, young girls and their families, partnering with churches like Trinity, staffed with professionals and supported by dozens of weekly volunteers. The desperate needs continue to grow – material, relational, and spiritual, few met by government funded resources. Instead, Pregnancy Lifeline provides all of its services free of charge, raising its support from individuals, churches, and foundations in order to provide medical grade pregnancy tests, state-of-the-art 4D sonograms, free diapers, children’s clothing, baby and maternity items along with the hope of the gospel to anyone in need. Last year, the ministry served over 1500 families!
There are many ways to get involved with Pregnancy Lifeline’s ministry. In addition to one-time and/or on-going financial support (https://pregnancylifeline.net/donate/), there are various opportunities for individuals, families, small groups, and whole churches to serve.
