Our Passion for Justice reaches

Our Passion for Justice reaches beyond our own walls.

"...and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." ~Acts 1:8 (GNB)

First Christian Church participates, through Disciple Mission Fund, in ministries around the world. A portion of all our offerings is designated for missions. Some of the ministry partners through which we reach out include:

Week of Compassion is the the disaster relief and development ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). WOC shares in a remarkable network of service and caring that is efficient, effective and faithful. That network includes partnerships with Church World Service, Action by Churches Together, Interchurch Medical Assistance, Food Resource Bank, Heifer Project International, the Disciples’ Overseas Ministries, Volunteers in Mission, Refugee and Immigration Ministries, Bread for the World, Souper Bowl of Caring, Habitat, the Ecumenical Church Loan Fund (ELCOF), and hundreds of local church partners around the world. WOC’s administrative costs are typically less than eight percent annually.

The Division of Overseas Ministries helps Disciples share the Good News of Jesus Christ from our doorsteps “to the ends of the earth” and seeks to meet God’s people at the point of deepest need: spiritually, physically, emotionally, and/or economically. Typical of Disciple work, DOM works in partnership through Global Ministries, the common witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ.

The Division of Higher Education and Leadership Ministries works in partnership with 17 colleges and universities, 10 theological institutions, and more than 80 campus ministry programs across the country.

Disciples Home Missions provides resources,
empowerment and leadership training for local congregations to make a difference in their communities and in the world.
