Samaritan Road is being built to help a church run its outreach and events. The church chooses what it is equipped to offer, reviews every need, and sends its people to serve: in the church, in the region, and in the world.
In development. Not yet open to churches or the public.
“Go and do likewise.”
An expert in the law asked Jesus who his neighbor was. Jesus answered with a story about a man robbed, beaten, and left half dead on the road from Jerusalem down to Jericho. A priest passed by on the other side. So did a Levite.
33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Each church offers only what it is equipped to run. That might be a food pantry on Saturdays, homeless outreach, prayer and care, a week of service across its region, storm response, or mission trips, along with events like a family movie night or a men’s conference. Nothing is asked of a church that it has not chosen.
A request for care, for yourself or for someone else, goes to the church’s care team, never to a public board. Coordinators review every need and approve every volunteer before anyone serves. Samaritan Road is not a place to request services, and it is built to stay that way.
Approved volunteers sign up for the shifts and events their church has scheduled: in the church, in the region, and in the world. Teams share what they saw as testimonies, the church sees the totals, and the people they served are never named or pictured.
Outreach we offer
For coordinators. Being built now.
Coordinators approve and organize volunteers, review local and global needs, organize events and outreach, and see the result of the care they give, in an interface that is easy to tailor to their church. It is the backbone of Samaritan Road.
For volunteers. Next.
Volunteers see the shifts and events their church has scheduled and sign up to serve. They can see their personal and overall impact, and communicate with team leaders and organizers quickly and efficiently.
Later, after the portal and the Volunteer App.
Ask for care simply and easily, for yourself or for someone else, through the programs your church offers. Once your request is reviewed for safety, your church connects you with care from trustworthy volunteers.
It will only ever open the programs a church chooses to open, and every request is reviewed by that church.
Samaritan Road is not taking requests for help. If you need help now, please contact a church near you. Many churches care for neighbors whether or not they attend.
October 2026
Samaritan Road is in development and not yet open to churches or the public. We are preparing a first pilot and building carefully, one church at a time.
It is being built to be free for every church and every person who uses it. There is nothing to buy, and nothing to sign up for yet.
