Compassion Committee Application for Assistance (Revised 5-4-24)
The Compassion Committee is a function of the Atlanta Ministerial Association, comprised of the Atlanta Assembly of God, Atlanta Christian Church, Atlanta United Methodist Church, and Eminence Christian Church.

  • The Compassion Committee strives to be good stewards of what God has given us and to live out the biblical mandate of caring for our neighbors (1 Timothy 6:18). Out of this commitment, the Compassion Committee has been formed to care for those in our community who are experiencing trouble securing the necessities of life—food, shelter, and utilities.
  • The Compassion Committee does not provide immediate financial assistance.
  • Any request can take two to three weeks to process. If you need help immediately, we suggest you visit www.auntbertha.com or dial 211 for the availability of local resources.
