Outreach Ministries
Old Mill Ministries started as an Outreach Ministry and today has grown into many more ministries. However, this is the heart of what we do, reaching those who are struggling spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. We bring hope to where its lost, light into darkness and with Gods unconditional and unwavering love.
