Apex Baltimore

Peace Park is the property of Stillmeadow Community Fellowship (EFCA) and is being developed and used for community outreach. The park is 10 acres of forest land located in the middle of urban Baltimore. Stillmeadow Community makes the park accessible to the community and uses it as a ministry resource to meet spiritual, educational, social, mental and physical needs. You will help them steward the property. They also use this park as a training ground for workforce development in the field of forestry outreach. This is helping those living in an urban setting explore, consider and develop “on the job” training for a field not often considered in an urban context. You will also serve with weekly food distribution including inventory, upkeep and more. You might also serve offsite with other ministries/organizations.
