Outreach & Social Justice

Our mission

  

Our mission is to live out the teachings of Jesus through welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, reaching out to the people of the community and the world, fostering a sustainable environment, working within our church, with other churches, and with organizations to promote social justice.

The Team takes the lead in coordinating activities that meet the mission, extending participation to the whole congregation. Current activities are helping to meet the needs of the food and housing insecure in our community, supporting a healthy environment, and contributing to improved living conditions beyond our community.

As a church we are concerned about housing and joining with Habitat is one way we can make an impact in our community. Habitat for Humanity has been building homes in Calaveras County for over 22 years. We offer families a “hands up” rather than a “hand out.”  Our church partners with Habitat in fundraising, volunteering on home building, and working with individual families to provide affordable housing. At the current time, we are hoping to be awarded a $10 million grant from the State of California to build 107 affordable homes in Angels Camp. One member, Jeri Carson -Hull works part time for Habitat and our own Pastor Bonnie is the Board President.
