Mission & Service & Outreach
Help us feed the hungry and serve our community and the world by giving here
Centre Church has a long history of outreach in the community and the world.
We are a "5 for 5 Church" in the UCC, giving to all 5 nationwide offerings: One Great Hour of Sharing, Neighbors in Need, Strengthen The Church, The Christmas Fund, and Basic Support.
In the church building, we host Centre For Children for infants through preschool. Tuesday and Friday noons, lunches are served by Loaves and Fishes, including large amounts of takeout on Fridays for those who might lack food over the weekend. We host multiple AA meetings each week, as well as other organizations providing needed counseling and support.
In the local community, we support a wide variety of organizations, financially and in kind and by volunteerism. We have an ongoing collection of food and clothing for those in need. One evening a month during the cold months, volunteers bake and serve food for homeless residents of the Seasonal Overflow Shelter.
We have had a Sister Parish in El Salvador since 1996, and previously helped support refugees who fled the Salvadoran war in the 1980s. Members have gone on many medical and church/youth mission trips, and we support students there through the Luz del Mundo Scholarship Fund.
