In 1991, Dr. Jessica Ingram presented her vision of the L.I.F.T. ("Lifting In Faith Together") Outreach Ministry to a few women of the Oak Grove congregation who became committed to the purpose of Lifting women and girls.

This vision has become one of the most treasured women's ministries at Oak Grove AME Church because it exemplifies the Great Commission "to seek and save". It takes Christian women beyond the four walls of the church into the community where a hand on, love and hug approach can be demonstrated to sisters whose lives have been adversely affected by life's circumstances.

The Outreach Ministry is also a vital link in the fund-raising aspect of the Resource Center. Realizing that financial support is crucial to do God's work, the ministry supports events which provide funds for the Center.

Women who have the compassion and concern to help women and girls rebuild their lives are invited to join the L.I.F.T. Outreach Ministry. Not only will you be a blessing, you will be blessed!
