We believe in the importance of caring for others, and we contribute time, material, and monetary donations to a number of mission activities globally, nationally, and locally.

Volunteers from our church participate in PADS, Red Cross, Labor of Love of the United Way, and Habitat for Humanity.

One of our regular Community Outreach Ministries is our Second Sunday Lunch.  Second Sunday Lunch is a free community meal served at noon on the second Sunday of each month.  We invite you and those from our community to join us for a warm meal and some good fellowship!        All are welcome! 

Each month we have a specific mission, either locally or to the benefit of one of the 5 UCC missions we support.  Check current bulletins for information on our current Mission of the Month.
