How We Help

Mission Possible

As a church, we recognize how many deserving causes exist. At Christ Church, we choose a monthly mission to focus on; bringing the hearts, hands, and minds of the congregation together to tackle a seemingly unattainable assignment. It may not seem feasible. . .“But with God All Things are Possible.”  Matthew 19:26

How We Help

5th Sunday Outreach

When a month has five Sundays, we use the “Extra” Sunday to go outside the walls of the church and serve the neighbors in our community. Previous Service Sundays have been used to feed the homeless, gather supplies for local outreach organizations, and visit local coin laundromats to offer supplies and prayer to neighbors.

We also have served food at Ronald McDonald House and Salvation Army, created care packages for All Children’s Hospital, helped make baby blankets for at-risk babies and their mothers, made packages and cards for prison inmates, made Christmas decorations for an assisted living home, and made meals and delivered them to any homeless we found in the city… All we do is to serve the community we are in.

How We Help

Laundry Drop

2nd Saturdays 8:45-10:30am

The 2nd Saturday of each month, volunteers start at 8:45 am to assemble gift bags for recipients at various laundromats. 

Then at 9:15 am, we distribute those bags to our neighbors in local laundromats.

If you’ve ever had to look outside your own house to do laundry, you know how much of a challenge it can be. We get it! Some folks rely on coin machines for their daily and weekly needs while others find themselves in circumstances that force them to rely on this service. Our Church community takes time to offer assistance in the way of detergent, dryer sheets, special gifts, and monetary assistance.

How We Help

Cuba

Pueblo Nuevo Church in Matanzas Cuba has been our covenanted sister church since March 2000. Members of our congregation have twice visited the faithful there, delivering much needed ministry and medical supplies. Both teams were gratefully received and humbled by the ncredible hospitality extended.

Our fundraising and support efforts are continual. 2 electric bikes have been the most recent contributions, enabling Pastor Eduardo to minister to the house churches and members living in the countryside. Pueblo Nuevo also hosts a ministerial college and has a thriving youth ministry.

The people have huge joy in Jesus. We keep them in our prayers and we are held in theirs.

How We Help

Argentina

With the new leadership of Pastor Dawn Worden, comes a new connection to the Evangelical Methodist Church of Argentina. We use a new model of international missions that focuses on partnerships and building friendships between churches, pastors, and people of two nations. If you have an interest in connecting with people abroad and learn about how God works in a new world, give us a ring.
