Missions
The focus of the Missions and Outreach at South Congregational Church is to reach beyond the walls of the church locally and globally. We respond to Christ's call to "care for my people" by linking gifts of money, time, and talents to the needs for God's world.
We strive to balance the local and global mission support placing emphasis on organizations with active church member involvement.
Volunteerism is a source of our strength and, as such, we encourage hands-on participation by all members of the congregation so they can experience the joy of helping others in need.
Through weekly pledging, we support a variety of organizations and special projects, and collections during the year are made to aid local and regional homeless shelters.
