 Mission & Outreach A church does not live unless it is giving to others and, by that giving, building up the Kingdom of God here on earth. As Christians, the congregation of the Garden City Community Church is committed to doing Christ's work here on earth. Mission outreach is an important way that we, as a church community, demonstrate that commitment and extend the work of the Church beyond our membership. Ministry Opportunities Food Donations to Emergency Food Center Mission & Outreach Dollars at Work Mission is an important part of Christian stewardship at the Garden City Community Church. We believe supporting others through the gifts of our time, talent, and financial support is one of the foundations of who we are as Christians. In recent years, the Church has denoted between $72,000 and $85,000 of its annual budget (approximately 10-15%) to financial outreach. This outreach supports a variety of organizations and programs. Special Offerings One Great Hour of Sharing Committee for Christian Social Responsibility The Committee for Christian Social Responsibility has two main purposes. The first is to facilitate communication between the United Church of Christ Metro Association, the State Conference, and the local Church. The second is to make the congregation aware of social justice issues that should be addressed. .
Board of Outreach The Board of Oureach acts on behalf of the congregation to direct our mission outreach, providing spiritual and financial support to those in need. Those organizations who receive our support are in some way significant to our church and its members. We believe the organizations represent the values, goals and vision of our congregation. Service Opportunities OFFICE ANGELS A dedicated group of volunteers make themselves available to help the Church office with the many mailings and clerical tasks that need to be accomplished on a weekly basis. We call them our Office Angels and the office would not function as efficiently as it does without their help.
