Our Mission & History

Overflow is a community effort to care for people in need, locally and globally through recycling and reselling clean, affordable goods. 

The ministry opened its first store in 2014 when community members came together, as an outpouring of their love for Jesus, to collectively increase their individual giving impact to other local and global ministries.

Our goal is to increase our charitable giving to our partners every year.

Statement of Beliefs

GOD

We believe there is one and only one living, sovereign and true God. God is the Creator, Redeemer and Ruler, who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Being one God, they are equal in power and glory.

JESUS

We believe Jesus is the Son of God and was sent to live on earth. He is fully God and fully human and lived a sinless life. Jesus willingly laid down his life for our sins, was buried, rose from the grave on the third day and ascended into heaven.

HOLY SPIRIT 

We believe that the Holy Spirit personally indwells all believers, bearing witness to their relationship with God; imparting truth, and convicting of sin. Each believer is gifted by the Holy Spirit with divine power for life, witnessing and service.

BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original writings, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

SALVATION

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, by Christ alone. Anyone who confesses that Jesus is Lord, turns in repentance and believes these truths, will be saved by grace with the promise of eternal life.

SANCTITY OF LIFE

We believe all people are created in the image of God. God’s love and Christ’s atoning sacrifice for us motivate us to value all human life which is worthy to be protected, loved and treated with dignity & kindness.

HOW TO LIVE

We believe that Christ followers are called to live for the glory of God in word and deed. As Christians we proclaim these truths to everyone, love one another, look after orphans, widows, and vulnerable people in their needs, and be faithful stewards of our possessions and of all of His creation.
